[billconner718]

This is a very "thick" video. =p

[BrininEsp]

How long is the paramedic course?

[theovadia]

a medic course is 1500 hours usually 11 months

I didnt know that paramedics were trained to use the jaws of life (00:31) i thought the fire service only done that. cool vid.

[defttouchdobson]

And yet when I see these young keen people my mind wanders to the back of an ambulance at three in the morning on a saturday night in liverpool and the image of a hard-nosed, cynical and weary face of a dispirited paramedic springs to mind. No-matter how keen and wellintentioned,they always turn out the same.

Must the paramedics in UK pay her apprentice ship by herself like here in germany?

Greetings from Germany

[TheMedic07]

I start at JMU next March. Looking forward to all this. :-) Anyone else goin, drop a line

[joegwyne]

[andycpn]

Im a junior paramedic student at Pennsylvania College of Technology, i was thinking about traveling abroad to do my senior capstone project on another EMS system, systems in UK that I should look into?

[FireWithinMe]

Brillaint Job, I am hopeing to view one of these as an observer on work experiance :). DOes anyone know What the song is?

[TheeOz]

I've just sent my UCAS application to John Moore's Uni in Liverpool to do Paramedic studies foundation degree, hope I get in.

[ukenigma]

Please do not confuse the activities shown with those you will undertake with LJMU.

[TheeOz]

Why not?

[ukenigma]

The videos I have posted show staff from Mersey Regional Ambulance Service NHS Trust undertaking internal training, run by Ambulance Service tutors.

LJMU may not include such training as part of their programme. LJMU is a separate organisation with its own Senior Lecturers who design and deliver their own curriculum.

[TheeOz]

Well if ya readmy original comment, I don't mention anything that compares this video to what I may study at Uni. I was mearly stating that I'm looking forward to it. It appears only you & I can make assumptions at this time as to what training is included in LJMU's curriculum.

[TheeOz]

Ps, In year two of the degree, the course is split with part-time employment with Mersey RAS. Would they not be covering similar training as this?

[chadkirkrjw]

I wiuld love to do that when I'm older. Medics have to know how to cut cars in case there are no firefighters available or the patiant needs immediat aid

[kitesurfzoe16]

they would if they had the gear to do that, only firemen have the gear to cut cars!

[chadkirkrjw]

Sometimes they carry trauma shears to smash windows and things

[UKParamedic]

No we don't! We have a crappy little toolbox with a spanner and a screwdriver and a couple of other stuff in. But most of it is either broken or someone has stolen it! Well, this is in England anyway!

[Friss99]

what firefighters do if medics are cutting cars?

[basilboris]

Hi all, I have just joined the ambulance service as an ACA, and intend to move up as quickly as I can. All of the guys featured in this video should feel so proud. They look like a great team. Well done :)

[Arodsfan]

Great Video I want to be a emt when I am older

[mickeylaurelvale]

nothing beats mersey taste in music!Good video

[huggs121]

The irony wasn't lost on the great music by (KILLER) good old mersy humour, super video.

[tallaksen10]

whats the name on the song in this video?

[ScruffyRanger]

Cool video. A wicked, ripping shame however about the music. Terrible.
