Our course leads to eligibility to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) straight after graduation. That means that as soon as you leave us, you’ll be fully qualified as a paramedic. Many of our students go on to undertake further study, becoming specialist or advanced paramedics, or progress to senior positions within the NHS. Our former students are also very active in the professional body, the College of Paramedics and have helped to further the paramedic profession. Upon graduation you'll be eligible to register as a paramedic with the Health and Care Professions Council. Most of our graduates take up positions as Newly Qualified Paramedics within an NHS Ambulance Service where you will receive a period of preceptorship. However, there are also employment opportunities with other NHS Trusts and the private sector. With suitable experience you can go on to specialise in urgent or critical care, research, management or education. You can also consider postgraduate study at masters or doctoral level.
