​

The London Ambulance Service’s Paramedic Programme in Fulham is designed to enable clinical staff - Emergency Ambulance Crew (EACs) and Emergency Ambulance Technicians (EATs) - to develop professionally to become Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Paramedics.  The Programme was launched in January 2016.

​

The Programme is delivered in modules over a total period of approximately two years.

​

Students on the Programme will complete four, self-directed ‘ramp modules’ over a six-month period. Following successful completion of these, classroom learning will take place over a further 18 months. Students will be required to attend a total of six, two week blocks of taught input, as well as self-directed study. 

​

Students are required to complete practice placements, working one-to-one with a Practice Educator. In addition, they need to complete up to six weeks of wider healthcare (non-double crewed ambulance) practice placements, e.g. in a hospital's A&E or Maternity Department.

​

A London Ambulance Service Paramedic Programme Diploma, equivalent to Academic Level 5, will be issued to all successful students, in addition to their registration with the HCPC.                                        

​

HCPC registered Paramedics can apply for jobs in the LAS or any other ambulance service in the UK.
