What our graduates say
“The paramedic course at the University of Plymouth is equally divided between theory days on campus and practical placements. Obviously, most of your time on placement will be spent at your allocated ambulance station; however, placements in other emergency and urgent care settings, such as A&E departments and Minor Injuries Units, in addition to other clinical specialities such as anaesthetics, maternity, mental health, coronary care, and paediatrics helped me to develop the diverse array of skills necessary to perform in the role of a Paramedic.”
“It would be impossible to become a paramedic without practical 'on the road' experience. The variety of placements gives you a very well-rounded exposure to health and social care issues in the community.”
