Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Paramedic Practice

Program Description Teesside's reputation for providing a high-quality, innovative paramedic education means that students gain the skills, knowledge and experience they need to be eligible to register as a paramedic with the Health and Care Professions Council.

This degree ensures that students have the depth of knowledge, skills and experiences to be a highly skilled autonomous practitioner able to confidently assess, prioritize, transfer, manage, treat, refer and discharge service users in the community. This course delivers an equal balance of theoretical and practical learning.

Throughout the course, as part of the placement experience, students will be required to participate in a shift pattern rota or work weekends. They are exposed to a unique range of practice placements comprising 60 weeks in total throughout the duration of the course.

Practice placements reinforce taught elements allowing students to apply theory within practice, gain valuable practical experience and prepare for the role of a modern paramedic. Within a practice setting, all students are supernumerary, ensuring maximum exposure to the role of the paramedic and patient care episodes. A qualified practice educator supports students' learning and help them develop their knowledge and skills in practice.
