Course programme

Someone would study this programme if they wanted to be a paramedic. This degree gives students eligibility to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council and is approved by the College of Paramedics. The paramedic workforce is changing: it is moving from a ‘treat and transport’ model to an ‘assess, treat and refer’ model. To do this, paramedics need higher order skills, for example, the ability to critique the evidence base underpinning practice, problem solve, and be able to reflect on their practice. This degree programme would equip students with the knowledge and professional skills to meet the needs of patients and employers and other health and social care professionals they may work with. They study alongside other health and social care professionals particularly around a theme of collaboration. The aim of the programme is to enable someone to become a confident, capable practitioner, fit to work as a paramedic. It reflects current developments in health and social care and also education. On completion of the degree, students will be clinically safe and competent practitioners able to work alone or as part of a team, apply professional judgement and be accountable for decisions. They will be able to show a critical understanding of the theories and principles of being a paramedic. They will be able to evaluate their own performance and recognise their own strengths and weaknesses and also those of others and, at some point, undertake a supervisor/leadership role. There is an annual intake, with an April start date, at our Medway campus.
