The role of the paramedic is to provide excellent, quality pre-hospital care to patients across the region.
To rise to the challenge you’ll need to be a qualified paramedic registered with the HCPC or a current paramedic student due to qualify this year.
As a frontline clinician, you will be expected to apply your clinical skills in a variety of environments with patients from all backgrounds and walks of life. You will need to be highly motivated with the ability to work well under pressure and deal with stressful and highly emotive situations, giving the best and most appropriate care to all of your patients.
You will be supported in clinical decision-making from senior, advanced and consultant paramedics around the clock. No decision is made without the knowledge that support is only a radio call away.
To rise to the challenge you’ll need to be a qualified paramedic registered with the HCPC or a current paramedic student due to qualify this year. You’ll also need to have completed an IHCD Paramedic Training Programme or a paramedic qualification through a university higher education institute.
