Paramedic Science

About this course

Paramedic science is the discipline concerned with providing emergency and urgent pre-hospital care to patients in the community, often in high-pressure and unpredictable circumstances. A paramedic must combine deep clinical knowledge with the ability to make rapid, sound decisions under stress, working both independently and as part of a wider healthcare team. The scope of paramedic practice has expanded considerably in recent decades, with paramedics now taking on roles in urgent care, clinical assessment, primary care settings and specialist retrieval teams, making the degree relevant to a wider range of healthcare careers than the traditional emergency ambulance setting might suggest.
