Hiya! I did comment on another video but I’ve just realised it’s not a very recent one 🤦♀️ I was wondering if you could give me any insight on how traditional science based the course is? I know that obviously there’s a lot of special science you need to learn, but i can’t seem to find out wether the course is highly science based ? Thanks for the great videos! Xx
Hi Molly! So we do a lot of anatomy and physiology and then we build on that when it comes to pathophysiology and pharmacology to understand how the body works when we do something like giving a drug. However for my uni we started from the very beginning. We started at molecular level and built it up from there so that anyone with a lack of science knowledge could still learn and understand the work and I believe most unis will do the same. So of course having some knowledge is good and helpful but it's not always necessarily essential. ☺️ I hope that gives you some idea. I've heard a lot of soon to be student paras are starting to look at the anatomy and physiology now to get a head start so that's also always an option anyway and it's definitely something I did. ☺️
Hey, great video! I've been offered a place at two different Univercitys for paramedic science. One starts in September and the other in January, I wanted to know your thoughts and opinions on the January start, like whats the good and bad bits on it, as I'm really not sure what one to go for. :D
Hi brilliant question! For me being a January start allowed me to have some time off and earn some money and I definitely don't regret it. I like how my year actually lines up with the annual year rather than academic, it just makes so much more sense! 😂 However I sometimes feel nothing is ever properly equipped and planned out for January students. The uni planning is brilliant no faults there at all but accomodation is so much more complicated and we often get forgotten about. For example I went to move back into my flat in January and they didn't know I was coming, which would never happen for a September student. September students get a proper welcome party, Freshers week etc which isn't really a thing for a January student (at least not in my experience 😂). In terms of actual teaching like I mentioned, absolutely nothing to complain about there, the perks of being a Jan student is that the content has technically been trialled and tested on the sept cohort before you 😉😂.
If it's something you wanna do, go for it! Everyone will have self doubt at some point but it's the best career ever and I'd highly recommend to anyone even considering it a career possibility! ☺️
Great video. I do have a question though. I’m looking to start uni next year (hoping to go to the Uni of Hull for Paramedic Science) and was picking at what note taking device to bring. Would you say it would be more practical to bring a MacBook or an iPad with keyboard and Apple Pencil? I really can’t make my mind up.
Hi Fin! Personally I write on pen and paper in lectures, some use laptops and some use tablets it really is personal preference. It may also depends what system your uni uses, some use Microsoft teams, some use blackboard and with the current situation zoom is also being use so it might end up being dependent on software available on each device. Sorry I can't be more help but good luck on the journey! ☺️🚑
Hi, I think every uni is different in what they accept, so it'd be best to check with uni's and ask the college's thoughts on it. I don't see why it'd be a problem though ☺️
I'm currently in my first year doing paramedic science, not sure if it sounds like a stupid question but can you have your phone in your pocket during placement to use the jrcalc app?
Hi, I keep my phone in my pocket anyway and have the JRCALC pocketbook but so many will have the app and using your phone in that instance should be okay, just maybe let the patient and the crew on with know that's what you're doing so you don't look like you're being rude ☺️
Hey there, I love all your videos and I am interested if you would share what you have in your pocket book. I would literally love to have the same as you I know you might not want to share but it looks so helpful and I learn so well from that type of visual information. ???????
I have a question. What if I'm Respiratory Therapist in my country and wanted to become a Paramedic in UK. Do I still need to take 3 yrs. of Paramedical Science or there's a training that I can practice to become one? Hoping for your response, thank you. Keep safe!
Hi, I'm not 100% sure, I imagine you would need to do the 3 years but that'd have to be something discussed with the ambulance trust you want to work with or the university you would apply to ☺️
@@ItsLuceee I'm not doing this course but when I did my degree, we used Pebblepad which is an online way of storing all your portfolio. I thought all uni's had switched to it as its so much easier than paper for us and for teachers/ placement.
I can’t wait to study paramedic science in 3 years time I’m so excited
All the best with it! ☺️
I'm waiting for that too

Thanks this was a great video!!
Thank you Sami! ☺️
I’m applying for september 21 for wolverhampton uni and i’m stressing so much 😫 i really want to do it but i feel like i’m not good enough bahaha

Hello just did my interview for my college and will I be able to apply for paramedic science in uni with btec science a levels ?

Hi Thomas, if you go on my channel and look back about a month, there's a video about my pocket book that hopefully should be of some use ☺️
@@ItsLuceee Thank you so much x
what a levels do you recommend?
Hi Jennifer, anything science related is always good but really choose something you enjoy for the two years of study ☺️
ItsLucee would you say biology physiology A-levels would benefit me
@@macsummerly232 biology is an absolute must, most unis require it. Apart from that, it doesn’t mattet

Hi I have just started uni on the paramedic course and i wanted to ask is the JRcalc pocket book the same as the big JRcalc text book ?
The big JRCALC guide has more detailed information in it whereas the pocket book contains a more simplistic version for quick reference on the road.
Im doing diploma in cardiology,is there any option to do job in abroad or to study more.about this in abroad
Hi, I'm not sure to be honest, paramedic science is a completely different course.
Do you not do it on Pebblepad (portfolio)?
Sorry I'm not quite sure what you mean? We get paper portfolios ☺️
@@ItsLuceee I'm not doing this course but when I did my degree, we used Pebblepad which is an online way of storing all your portfolio. I thought all uni's had switched to it as its so much easier than paper for us and for teachers/ placement.
