Health Education England and the College of Paramedics have worked in partnership to develop a dedicated elearning programme for Paramedics. Whether starting or returning to university studying Paramedic Science, starting work as a paramedic for the first time, or an experienced paramedic looking to refresh and update their knowledge, these sessions aim to support individuals applying theory into practice.
Gary Strong, National CPD Lead, College of Paramedics commented, ‘Quick and easy to access and produced by paramedics for paramedics, these sessions are invaluable for refreshing knowledge and applying learning in practice. They can be used by students to support their studies, newly qualified paramedics to reinforce their learning, or experienced paramedics for revision, and all who work alongside paramedics to develop applied clinical knowledge’.
What’s included in the elearning programme?
The programme now includes 13 modules, with sessions written by paramedics and subject matter experts on a wide range of topics.
