We’ll teach you how to be able to think critically, react appropriately in challenging situations and be an effective communicator, all alongside building the knowledge and skills to deliver immediate healthcare and support to patients of all ages. You’ll graduate as a confident, competent paramedic ready to work in NHS or private ambulance services.

You’ll have lots of opportunities to prepare for placements through skill sessions. These hands-on sessions take place in our simulation suites, where you can access the specialist equipment you’ll be working with when you qualify. You’ll practice different techniques with a range of simulation manikins and learn from real service users and experienced paramedics. We also have a fully equipped emergency ambulance vehicle, accommodating small group teaching on the move.

You’ll also be assigned a Personal Academic Tutor when you join us. Typically a member of your teaching team, your tutor will remain with you throughout your time at Worcester. They’ll get to know your strengths and where you can develop, offering personalised support and feedback throughout your course.
