That is welcome. From what I was reading, there was a concern that the NAS was ignoring UL and concentrating on its own campaigns. The integration of the university's standards is welcome. UL has stated that since 2016, when its programme was established, many of its graduates have had to go to the UK and not one UK ambulance trust has required its students to undertake the type of exams required by the NAS before their internship. Mr. Morton stated that he is qualified in the UK based on the Irish education system and standards. The UK was able to accept the students from UL but the NAS was not.
