Course Summary

Paramedics work in a dynamic, challenging and constantly evolving profession, where no two days are the same. Our BSc (Hons) Paramedic Science degree gives you the opportunity to learn from our team of experienced, award winning and innovative staff , our practice partners, including West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) and a range of specialist guest speakers, on your journey to becoming a qualified paramedic. **What makes Paramedic Science at Worcester Special?** Our mission is to provide a programme that enables students to grow in ability and confidence so on exit from the programme they are equipped to deliver high quality patient centred care as rounded, caring and compassionate health care professionals who they - and the wider profession - are proud to call paramedics. Our BSc (Hons) Paramedic Science course seeks to not only promote technical excellence, but to nurture the professional values that place the patient, as an individual, at the centre of practice. To that end the course has at its core a concept of a holistic approach to care, valuing patients as individuals and not merely a biological system. Students will be encouraged to take ownership of their own learning, as confident, motivated independent learners supporting the ethos of lifelong learning, supported by colleagues both in the university setting but also in the practice arena. They will learn through experience, inquiry and problem solving; thus, enabling them to understand and not just know. The intention is to equip students to find sound solutions to the novel situations they will encounter in their professional lives. Students will develop a solid foundation on which to build their future clinical, professional and academic development. The programme seeks to achieve the very best in students enabling to do the very best for their patients and the profession they will join.
