"summary": "Are you ready for a new challenge and thinking of becoming a paramedic? Our exciting MSc Paramedic Science masters degree will give you the relevant knowledge, skills and clinical expertise to deliver safe and effective treatment to patients in the pre-hospital and out-of-hospital environment.\nWe have partnered with the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, the busiest emergency ambulance service in the UK, to deliver this degree course.\nThe course has been designed for those with a healthcare profession undergraduate degree, or another degree alongside considerable experience in a healthcare setting, who wish to become a paramedic in two years. \nThis masters in paramedic science will enable you to become a registered practitioner with knowledge, skills and clinical expertise to deliver safe, effective and appropriate treatment to service users with urgent, emergency, and unscheduled healthcare requirements.\n\nWhat you'll study\nParamedics are Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) regulated Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), who provide unscheduled care to people who have an urgent or emergency healthcare need out of the hospital environment.\nThey assess, treat, manage, discharge and/or where appropriate refer service users across the lifespan, with almost any injury or illness (encompassing acute, chronic, and/or specialist services).\nThis course will enable you to become a self-sufficient registered practitioner who has the knowledge, skills and clinical expertise to deliver safe, effective and appropriate treatment to service users with urgent, emergency, and unscheduled healthcare requirements. This includes management at the scene or in-hospital of critically ill and injured patients.\nOn successful completion of this postgraduate Paramedic Science degree, you will be eligible to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a paramedic.\nPlacements\nPractice-based learning is a compulsory component and is integrated across the two years of your course. You will not receive payment for this. You will travel to practice-based learning settings at your own expense and this is an additional cost to the course fee. You will also be responsible for arranging and paying for any accommodation or insurance related to travel to practice-based learning settings. Practice placements are located in London and the outskirts, you should be prepared to travel significant distances to some placement areas.\nThe structure, duration and range of practice-based learning settings will support your achievement of the course learning outcomes and the Standards of Proficiency – Paramedics (2014).\nPlacements will be with both the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust and in a number of wider healthcare settings such as:\n• residential care homes, ward areas, hospices\n• GP surgeries\n• operating theatres and intensive care/high dependency units\n• mental health environments\n• maternity and children’s services.\n\nPlacements will follow compulsory clinical shift patterns and will include unsociable hours including days, nights, weekends and bank holidays.\nIn ambulance placements you will be supervised by a Practice Educator or PEd. In healthcare placements you will be supervised by a mentor.\n\nSuccessful completion of this course provides eligibility to apply for HCPC registration as a Paramedic. As a HCPC registered paramedic you can apply for a job in an Ambulance Trust, where the majority of Paramedics work. \nParamedics also work in range of different environments on gaining post-qualifying experience, for example:\n• GP Surgeries\n• Walk-in centres\n• Minor injury units\n• Helicopter emergency services\n• Oil rigs\n• Research units",
