I chose the Ambulance Service as I have a keen interest in science and medicine. I love my job, it’s really practical which suits me, and I enjoy the communication and the rapport with patients. It’s demanding but I enjoy the challenge of problem solving and finding solutions to help deliver the best care.

Becoming a paramedic has definitely changed me; I’ve gained confidence and am more independent, plus it’s opened my eyes to the world and made me appreciate how important life is.
