Paramedic

A paramedic is a highly trained healthcare professional who responds to emergency calls and provides medical care at the scene of incidents and while transporting patients to hospital. They assess a patient's condition, provide life-saving treatment such as CPR, administer medications, use specialist equipment, and ensure patients get the right care quickly. Paramedics usually work for NHS ambulance services and are trained to handle a wide range of medical emergencies, from heart attacks and injuries to mental health crises. The job can be physically demanding and emotionally challenging but is also highly rewarding, as paramedics often make a real difference in people's lives during critical moments.
