Are you ready for a new challenge and thinking of becoming a paramedic? If you have an undergraduate degree in a healthcare profession* then our exciting MSc Paramedic Science will give you the relevant knowledge, skills and clinical expertise to deliver safe and effective treatment to patients in the pre-hospital and out of hospital environment.

We are partnering with the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, the busiest emergency ambulance service in the UK, to deliver this trailblazing course. It will be the first pre-registration paramedic science course at Masters level in the UK (subject to approval by UWL and The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)).

Paramedics are Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) regulated Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), who provide unscheduled care to people who have an urgent or emergency healthcare need out of the hospital environment. They assess, treat, manage, discharge and/or where appropriate refer service users across the lifespan, with almost any injury or illness (encompassing acute, chronic, and/or specialist services).

Offered from November 2019, this course will enable you to become a self-sufficient registered practitioner who has the knowledge, skills and clinical expertise to deliver safe, effective and appropriate treatment to service users with urgent, emergency, and unscheduled healthcare requirements. This includes, management at the scene, or in-hospital of critically ill and injured patients.
