Learn from registered paramedics and a range of specialists. Practise in our ambulance simulator. Solve problems in our 3D immersive simulation suite. Then apply everything you’ve learnt to practice – you’ll spend half of your time on the frontline with ambulance crews and other healthcare teams.
- Hear about the latest changes to paramedic training. By contributing to a leading journal, we’re helping move paramedic education forward.
- The programme has a 100% employability rate (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2017/18). Long term career prospects are excellent too, while many paramedics also go on to further study.
