Paramedic

Paramedics are highly trained healthcare professionals who provide emergency medical care to people who are injured or suddenly unwell, typically before they reach hospital. They work mainly for ambulance services, responding to 999 calls in a wide variety of situations such as road accidents, heart attacks, and other medical emergencies. The role involves assessing patients, providing life-saving treatment, and transporting patients safely to hospital if needed. Paramedics often work in teams, sometimes alongside police or fire services, and need to remain calm under pressure, make quick decisions, and communicate effectively with patients and other healthcare professionals. The job can be physically and emotionally demanding but is also highly rewarding for those who want to make a real difference in their community.
