Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I would never have been able to access the paramedic degree had it not been available through my employer as an apprenticeship. Thank you for the opportunity and the support throughout.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I can't deny it's hard work with full time employment and full time study. The course however is interesting and I like that I can apply the taught session on shift as we go.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learned so much, from anatomy to medical interventions. I also appreciate the course teachings of how to be an autonomous paramedic as skill sets differ with and across countries

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are weekend training events available and connections with external training providers to get involved with.
