Study Details:
Want to kickstart a challenging healthcare career? Training as a nurse paramedic could be the perfect match for you. With this distinctive integrated Masters degree, you’ll become a versatile and dynamic practitioner with a focus on person-centred care.
Over four years, our compelling nurse paramedic integrated Masters degree will develop your critical decision-making and ability to work on your own. Delve into theoretical knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the human body, emergency care, and how to manage chronic and complex care.
The first and final years of the programme will be taught primarily at the Edge Hill’s Ormskirk campus, while years two and three are delivered at our St James’ site in central Manchester.
During each year of study you’ll complete placements in a variety of healthcare settings. Simulated learning supports your real-world experience to develop your knowledge and skills.
Please note: This is an undergraduate programme. It is not suitable for those who already hold a nursing (NMC) or paramedic (HCPC) registration as a qualified practitioner. The course is fully integrated from the outset, so existing practitioners with elements of knowledge in one area of practice only will be unable to join midway through, as they will miss core elements of the other role included within the programme content and delivery. Standalone modules are also unavailable on this course. However, if you already hold NMC or HCPC registration as a qualified practitioner, and are looking to upskill in a specific area, please consider our postgraduate provision.
On successfully graduating from this course at Edge Hill, you’ll be eligible to register as a qualified adult nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. You’ll also qualify as a paramedic with eligibility to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council.
Typical offer 120-128 UCAS Tariff points, plus GCSE English Language and GCSE Mathematics at Grade C or Grade 4 or above (or equivalent).
Relevant natural and applied science subjects are preferred but not essential. An interview forms part of the selection process.
If you accept an offer from Edge Hill you will need to satisfy the requirements of the Nursing & Midwifery Council and Health and Care Professions Council in respect of physical and mental fitness and will be required to apply for a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Disclosure indicating that you meet the mandatory criteria of ‘Clearance to Work with Children and/or Vulnerable Adults’. Further information will be sent to you after you have firmly accepted an offer.
