Advanced paramedic

Advanced paramedics offer a high level of clinical skills and leadership to help patients and support colleagues.

Share this page
Advanced paramedic stood in front of ambulance.

We have an excellent clinical leadership structure within our service, which provides our clinicians with the opportunity to enhance their skills and develop their careers.

Advanced paramedics offer a high level of clinical skills and leadership, whether that’s out on the road responding to incidents or offering remote support to clinicians across the service. They co-ordinate and provide clinical advice for some of the more complex incidents we attend, whilst also being responsible for a team of senior paramedics.

If they haven’t done so already, all advanced paramedics work towards a master’s degree in a specific subject, allowing them to develop their area of advanced practice even further.
