Overview of Role

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

5/5

I am working as an Advanced Paramedic Emergency Care for NEAS. My role involves supporting operational paramedics in clinical excellence, ensuring that we are working on current evidence based guidance, and promote trust wide learning from incidents in the interest of education and patient safety.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I am really enjoying the programme. It is a lot of hard work but I have been supported by my employer and I am eager to develop my knowledge even further to promote clinical excellence in the trust.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have enhanced my clinical knowledge greatly during my apprenticeship as well as building upon the other 3 pillars of advanced practice to include leadership, research and education.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

So far my programme seems to be well organised. There are always updates readily available for any changes in timetables and my lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I have received a lot of support from my employer in relation to funding and allocated time to study.

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

5/5

Northumbria University have been very supportive and ensure I have all of the necessary learning materials I require. The lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable.

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

5/5

An MSc ACP is fundamental for my role, not only for my position within the trust, but to have a deeper understanding of the impact of advanced practice in pre-hospital care and how I can utilise that knowledge for service improvement.

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

5/5

There are a few professional networking events and CPD opportunities.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend North East Ambulance Service to a friend?

Yes

Why?

The trust have been fully supportive in my education and have funded my academic qualifications from level 3 diplomas all the way to MSc.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to North East Ambulance Service?

Research different opportunities available within the trust. Not everyone is a paramedic, and not everyone works in a patient facing role, but they all play a vital role in delivering high standards of patient care.
