Paramedic Science BSc

The course is fully accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and is run in partnership with West Midlands Ambulance Service. You will be allocated an experienced mentor, and you will undertake supernumerary shifts responding to 999 calls across the region. This will give you the opportunity to assess and treat patients whilst being supported by a qualified clinician. You may also have the opportunity to undertake a specialist placement in a setting such as the emergency department, operating theatre, coronary care unit, maternity unit, minor injury unit or a healthcare facility within a prison. 

Throughout your journey, you will undertake theory modules to provide you with the foundational knowledge and academic skills required to function as a contemporary Allied Health Professional, but you will also spend lots of time in our state-of-the-art clinical skills labs learning the practical skills necessary to work as a Paramedic. We utilise our SUCCESS (Service User and Carer Involvement) team to aid clinical skills teaching and they have real life experience of accessing emergency care and enable you to understand the patient’s perspective.
