To enable us to meet the future needs for our services we have invested significantly in our emergency services and have embarked on the development of a career pathway for post registration paramedics and a new operating model for specialist and advanced paramedics in both urgent/emergency and critical care. Through this programme we are now seeking two individuals who have the drive, leadership skills and clinical excellence to take on the new, exciting, and challenging role of Advanced Paramedic Critical Care.

Our strategy sets out our ambitious plans for the future for both patients and staff.
