Hi MonteKM no I did my course here in the UK. It was taught by a HCPC reg Para who is the AREMTs co-ordinator for the UK. AREMT-B, IHCD FPOS-I

Hi Zippy, i'm amazed that you think EMT-B doesn't exist in the UK. The statutory services (NHS) don't employ AREMTs but they do employ EMTs (just ask London Ambulance Service). EMT-B and EMT-I are recognised in the private sector in the UK certainly by the 4 companies that I work for and countless other companies I know of both over here and in Europe so that was a bit of a sweepingly dismissive statement. The CEC course i mentioned that includes EMT-I, has the same scope to practise as IHCD Tech although admittedly it's likely to take a while before the NHS recognise it. No, I'm not an ECA I don't work for the statutory ambulance service I have a day job outside of healthcare. I cover private event work or private patient transports. I have no interest in becoming a Paramedic as, although I enjoy the Medical side I can't afford the paycut. AREMT-B, IHCD FPOS-I

Hello, I'm currently an EMT-B in the UK and I'd like to advance to EMT-I if possible. Does anyone know if there are any courses run in the UK to AREMT-I standard ? I already know about SCMTs CEC course that includes an EMT-I qual but I can't do that course due to time constraints with my young family. Any info would be greatly received.

Just thought I should stop by and say hello before I start paying elsewhere. I'm an EMT-B in England qualified through the AREMT (Australasian Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians). I have a day job that is not EMS related and I work freelance for a few private ambulance companies covering events and patient transport work. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me. (Can't guarantee I'll answer them all but....) IcePax p.s. The name comes from my involvement covering Roller Derby. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
