Jason Betson

Jason Betson serves as Senior Lecturer in Paramedicine within the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedicine at the Faculty of Health Sciences. His academic role focuses on paramedic education and research in emergency medical care contexts.

Research interests center on physiological and psychological stressors in paramedic practice, with emphasis on shift work impacts, cognitive load during high-acuity scenarios, and cardiac emergency management. Key areas include sleep disruption in early-career clinicians, psychophysiological measurement during simulations, and evidence-based prehospital interventions for myocardial infarction.

Analysis of his 2019-2025 publications reveals consistent methodological innovation, particularly in applying functional near-infrared spectroscopy for cognitive load assessment and developing threat-response frameworks for clinical education. His work bridges emergency medicine practice with educational psychology to enhance paramedic training efficacy and patient safety outcomes.
