Paramedic

Paramedics are highly trained healthcare professionals who provide emergency medical care to people who are injured or suddenly become ill. They are often the first to arrive at the scene of an emergency, working from ambulances or rapid response vehicles. Paramedics assess patients, provide life-saving interventions such as CPR or administering medication, and transport patients to hospital if necessary. The role requires quick decision-making skills, excellent communication, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. Paramedics often work shifts, including nights, weekends, and public holidays, as emergencies can happen at any time.
