What makes Paramedic Science at Worcester special? Professional Paramedics work in a dynamic, challenging and constantly evolving environment, where no two days are the same. Often working under emergency conditions, Paramedics are trained to deliver excellent patient care under pressure. At Worcester, the University and placement aspects of your training are intertwined, meaning you can implement the theory you learn at the start of the week almost immediately, whilst on placement later that same week. It also helps integrate you fully in to both the university and ambulance communities. Paramedics have to be committed professionals. At Worcester, you can develop the skills and knowledge you will need, as well as exploring the wider principles and values that underpin a career in pre-hospital care. University of Worcester has a proven track record in the education of student paramedic both direct entry students and for existing ambulance service staff. We have considerable experience in all avenues of paramedic and pre-hospital care. All of the staff that facilitate the course are currently practicing paramedics with a combined experience of over 100 years in pre-hospital care. University of Worcester prides itself on the friendly student focused atmosphere where we believe you will feel at home. The facilities are exceptional and the support you will receive as a student is second to none. September 2017 will be the final intake for the Paramedic Science FdSc, but find out more about our new Paramedic Science BSc.
