Paramedic practice
Our paramedic training course is run with the two NHS Ambulance Service Trusts of Yorkshire and East Midlands. We hold regular meetings with the trusts to ensure our course is up to date with new developments in paramedic practice. All our lecturers are either qualified paramedics or specialists in emergency care.
We provide you with the expertise, practical skills and experience to become a qualified paramedic. Paramedics are the senior members of accident and emergency ambulance crews, trained in all aspects of pre-hospital emergency care.
When you successfully complete the two year Diploma in Paramedic Practice, you are eligible to apply for registration with the Health Professions Council (HPC), which enables you to begin employment immediately.

Paramedic facilities
We have made significant investment in health facilities over the last few years. The new health building is a perfect example of this investment.
This building features specialist rooms which have been designed in close consultation with practising health professionals. We are equipped with the latest simulation, practice and investigative equipment.
This means we can offer realistic education and training that equates to the workplace. It also means we can carry out research at a very advanced level.
Specialist paramedic studies facilities include Simman, a technologically advanced mannequin who can be used to recreate lifelike scenarios. This allows you to develop some practical skills before you go on placement.
Continuing professional development
We have an large range of credited modules that you can take individually or as part of a study programme.
We also run short courses for staff working in the health, social care, biosciences and sport. They are designed to meet a range of needs and to be responsive to the changing demands of the work environment.

Together in the real world of health and social care
