Paramedic Science and Out of Hospital Care

About this course

Paramedic science and out of hospital care prepares you for one of the most demanding and rewarding roles in healthcare, working at the frontline of the NHS and in the broader urgent and emergency care system. Paramedics respond to medical emergencies in the community, providing assessment, diagnosis, and treatment at the point of need, often in environments where hospital resources are unavailable. The discipline draws on pathophysiology, pharmacology, clinical skills, and professional judgement, all applied under pressure and with real consequences for patients. At the University of Sunderland, this three-year degree equips you with the knowledge, skills, and professional values needed to register with the Health and Care Professions Council as a paramedic. You will study the pathophysiology of the conditions you are likely to encounter in practice, from cardiac and respiratory emerge
