Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Ambulance Services, Recruitment and Retention of Personnel, and Response Times: Discussion
Mr. Robert Morton:
It will. The placements we will offer in Ireland will be paramedic internships. We mentioned earlier earlier on, when the Deputy may not have been in the room, that when they go the north-west ambulance service NHS trust in Manchester in Cumbria, they do not do paramedic internships. They practice as associate ambulance practitioners, which is a step below a paramedic. What we hope to offer is probably more akin to the college course they are undertaking.
