At South Central Ambulance Service, we’re committed to helping our people develop their skills, build their experience and progress their careers.
Our latest cohort of trainee specialist practitioners (Cohort 20) has begun an exciting 12-month development programme, combining academic learning, practical clinical experience and dedicated support from colleagues across the trust.
The programme includes specialist training, simulation-based learning, supervised shifts alongside experienced practitioners and placements across our operational services. It is designed to help learners build the knowledge, confidence and clinical decision-making skills needed to become autonomous Specialist Practitioners.
The scale of the opportunity is significant. Over the next 12 months, the 20th cohort will collectively undertake 3,000 hours of clinical placements and could care for more than 6,000 patients.
It’s a great example of how we invest in our people, providing opportunities to learn, develop and take the next step in their careers, while also strengthening the skills and experience we can offer our patients.
Please join us in wishing Cohort 20 every success as they begin their journey!
