  • Hi Martin,

    I know it's easy to say, but it's really important to start with something. So while you may want to end up being a fully qualified paramedic, if you're willing or able to demonstrate that you have the skills/personality for the job through something else then this will get you there much faster. Volunteering might not be glamorous but it might give you enough experience to get on a trainee paramedic course for example, and that might then unlock the st John's ambulance you mentioned.

    Have you considered being a hospital porter? I'm pretty sure there are no qualifications required for this, but you'd be right next to patients, moving trolleys around and working in the hospital environment.
