Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

I am currently employed by East Midlands ambulance service as a technician. I am qualified to assess and treat sick/injured patients in a pre hospital setting

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

I am thoroughly enjoying the challenge.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have built on pre existing knowledge and am surprised at what already I have learnt.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

Currently we are the first cohort. We are learning and so are the providers so at times we are highlighting need for change in structure and feel sometimes this can be to our detriment but nothing too serious as yet.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

3/5

Our employer is supporting us in the financial aspect of the programme allowing us to dedicate a lot of time too the programme but they are nit very supportive around annual leave and providing shifts with our mentors as changes seem to be happening much too often.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

Our current module lead is amazing. He is sacrificing a lot of his personal time to help us. He has his own young family but it isn't going unnoticed and we're all very grateful.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

It gives us additional skills and scope to provide the best care for our patients. It's difficult when you know what treatment a patient requires but are unable to give it.
