THE first ever cohort of paramedic students from Keele University have graduated - with many already providing emergency and urgent medical care to help meet rising demand for ambulance services.

Eighteen students have completed the four-year paramedic science with integrated master’s (MSci) programme, marking the launch of a new generation of frontline healthcare professionals trained at the university.

Most of them are already working in the NHS or healthcare services, putting their skills into practice across ambulance services and emergency care settings.

The achievement is a significant step for Keele’s health education provision, as well as a boost for the NHS and healthcare services workforce at a time of continued demand for paramedic expertise.
