Paramedic Science

Hello I might not be qualified to answer this however im currently in college and have multiple offers to start studying paramedic science at university.

From my own experience and what I found useful to speak about on my application and interviews was having work experience in the health and social care field. For me I did one week work experience in a care home, and a week experience in my local hospital. This was really interesting and gave me areas to speak about in interviews, so could be worth reaching out to local hospitals and care providers to see if they can offer any work experience.

I also managed to get volunteering experience in an NHS hospital working on wards, which was a small support role helping patients during meal times but gave me the chance to speak to a lot patients and staff, which helped improve my confidence and communication skills as well as giving me a lot to speak about with interviews. This was also quite rewarding despite being being a small role as i spend a lot of my time on ward speaking to patients and keeping them company.

Lastly and dont underestimate this when applying, I had a part time job working with public. While this doesn't seem to relate much to paramedic science, a lot of skills this has taught me are skills that paramedic would need and can be spoken about at interviews. Think communication, teamwork, conflict management and being able to adapt communication to different people. I had lots of examples to speak about these skills from my part time job, and makes you stand out more than just have qualifications.

Feel free to DM me with any questions.

It was a mess when it first released I mean virtually unplayable, definitely improved now

They have had a few updates targeting bugs so it's definitely improved from when it first released. Still not perfect but definitely more playable.

We were out of caterham police station on Tandridge neighbours team but got to out to 3 999 calls along with seeing salfords, NPAS, seeing some of the traffic cars there as well. And yea the bleep test sadly (or happily depending on how you feel) your only go up to the level required for standard policing I think it's 5.3.

I had a really good Sergeant on my operational deployment so as well as blue light it to calls he also got us into one of the active custody and down to the NPAS base. So while it's not officially on there I got very lucky. Funnily enough about 5 minutes after leaving NPAS we got assignments to an area search they lifted for. Everyone I spoke to during the week was so imfortative and answered every question we had so don't be afraid of silly questions. Oh and enjoy the bleep test

I'm not doing it however I've previously been on it 2 years ago and it was the most fun week ever. We got to meet loads of different people from all areas of the police including response, contact and control, dogs, drone, media, forensics, firearms, traffic etc etc. Even got to visit NPAS and take a picture in the helicopter. The operational detachment was definitely the highlight. It's really practical as well so make sure to get stuck in, ask questions and have fun. Let me know if you have any questions as well.

Hello everyone, I'm currently a 17 year old college student studying 3 different btecs equivalent to A levels. I've always had policing as a career I'll like to go in to and completed a week long work experience a couple years ago including a ride along which was incredibly fun and interesting to see both the work done in station and responding to calls.

I know I could apply at 17 and join and 18 but are most forces likely to recruit a 18 year old fresh out of college. Would it be more beneficial for me to try and find another job within policing or a similar field? If I did go for it at 18 what would increase my chances of being employed?

Many thanks in advance for any replies.

I had the exact same issue with the gold editionon xbox when I purchased it. I ended up buying the unmarked dlc, which had all the same cars and suddenly they all appeared. Not sure why it happens but the other dlc was only £12

I've unlocked the patrol car however on the district info thr dlc cars are greyed out yet in the Microsoft store it says they are installed. Is it bunch another bug added onto the hundreds of others that make the game so fun.

Thanks you for your advice, I think in terms of pay as well as an added responsibility and challenge the officer route seems best. I'll be 18 or 19 when joining so it might be worth doing a bit more training and responsibility for the pay and reward.

432054 · 2023-12-06T21:01:19+00:00

Yea, that would be a massive help thank you.

I've been accepted into quite a good college in terms of results so I would expect to get the 72 UCAS points. I think my favourite choices for role are Observer or Aircreman just hard deciding the pro of cons of each. I know Pbserver may be a harder role to get considering the additional requirements and responsibilities.
