Paramedic

View this career for different education levels:

Paramedics are highly trained medical professionals who provide emergency care to people who are injured or suddenly become unwell. They are usually the first healthcare workers to arrive at the scene of an accident or medical emergency, working primarily in ambulances but also in rapid response vehicles or helicopters. Paramedics assess patients, provide life-saving treatment, and transport them safely to hospital if needed. The job can be physically and emotionally demanding, involving shift work, including nights and weekends. Paramedics need to make quick decisions, stay calm under pressure, and have excellent communication skills. In the UK, you need to complete a degree in paramedic science and register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) to work as a paramedic.
