Alongside the paramedic is a team of ambulance clinicians who support paramedics and assess patients in their own right. The DipHE in Associate Ambulance Practice is aligned to an enhanced technician job role within the NHS. Technicians deal with emergency and urgent healthcare presentations within a slightly reduced scope of practice. This course is designed to take you through a dynamic journey that will train you to become a thoughtful and safe healthcare professional. While it doesn’t lead to registration as a paramedic, it may be used in gaining access to the Paramedicine BSc (Hons) programme through our transfer criteria and is dependant on availability of places. You will get practical experience by working alongside senior paramedics and experienced technicians on emergency ambulances and rapid response cars. You will also get a wider exposure through a number of other community based placements, such as in an Emergency Department or Doctors surgery.
