Paramedic Practice BSc (Hons)

Become a highly skilled autonomous practitioner able to confidently assess, prioritise, transfer, manage, treat, refer and discharge service users in the community. Gain skills to manage almost every category of patient, including children and adults, mental health, obstetric, medical and trauma incidents. Benefit from an equal balance of theoretical and practical learning, undertaking a range of practice placements throughout each year. Theory provides you with the knowledge, understanding and critical decision-making skills you need as a paramedic. You put this knowledge into your practice placements, enhancing and developing your skills as you make an immediate and continuing contribution to service user care. You also develop enhanced communication, personal and professional skills. Learn to confidently take a history from a service user to assess their needs, prioritise care, formulate a management and treatment plan, refer them to other healthcare providers or professionals and offer care at home, promoting healthy interventions and conversations with them, their carers and their family. Support them to understand healthcare information and clinical guidance, and offer advice from your well-developed understanding of evidence-based practice. Care, compassion and commitment to high-quality care are essential skills. Gain support as you develop as a clinical leader and key decision-maker and improve your understanding of the wider healthcare network in practice placements. You integrate your knowledge, paramedic skills and attributes to competently assess and manage service users across the lifespan and in a range of settings.
