University of Plymouth Paramedicine

The key to surviving OSCE prep is obviously a picnic lunch break on the grass 🍃

👩‍🏫 What a day. What a launch. What a showcase for paramedic futures 👨‍🎓

🏫 On Saturday, the University of Plymouth hosted the very first – a pioneering student paramedic conference.

🚢 From HEMS () to HART, Primary Care to Expedition Medicine, the Army to Cruise Ships – attendees heard from experts across the full spectrum of paramedic careers. Paired with powerful keynote talks and invaluable exhibitors, the day was all about inspiring the next generation and opening doors to what’s possible. We were also proud to welcome two Paramedic lecturers from – a fantastic inter-HEI collaboration.

📚 This wouldn’t have happened without incredible support – especially our sponsors: &

🙏 Thank you to everyone who made it happen and to everyone who showed up.
