Real life stories

Critical care paramedic, South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, Emma Relf

I have always enjoyed the buzz of being a paramedic but wanted to develop my skills, so jumped at the chance to train as a critical care paramedic.

Paramedic clinical adviser, South Central Ambulance Service NHS Trust, Alan Brooks

I trained as nurse specialising in learning disability and ended up working with people with severe challenging behaviours. When I saw an advert for the ambulance service, I decided it was time for a change.

Emergency medical dispatcher, London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, Beverley Dyer

I was a pharmacy technician when I became disabled and logistically it became difficult for me to carry on with that particular job.

Control manager, North East Ambulance Service NHS Trust, Graham Robinson

I started as an ambulance care assistant on non-emergency ambulances. I enjoyed it but I really wanted the ‘blue light’ work so, after three years, I moved to accident and emergency as an ambulance technician.

Emergency care practitioner* with the East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS), Louise de Groot

I have the most fulfilling job you could possibly think of. I joined the ambulance service after ten years in the RAF. I’d always been interested in medicine and it seemed an ideal next career.

*The job title emergency care practitioner is used by some ambulance service trusts to refer to some of their senior paramedic roles.
