Good stuff Mucker. I was just a Team Medic and strecher bearer when I was on Op Herrick 7 Afghanistan this time 10 year ago. Even though I was a Turret Gunner in the Warrior Vehicle.👍
It's a shame the military don't allow paramedics the opportunity to undertake an officer role unlike nurses who can choose between an NCO route or Officer route within the Army and Royal Navy
Yeah same in Canada, its shite since I'll only be going up to WO unless I switch trades and do a CFR which would take 15 years. Why is a doctor my boss for field ambulance? i dunno
@@jellyfishdave As a Medical Support Officer you aren't a paramedic/medic, you're more involved in the logistics of field medical care and would therefore never go out with the MERT etc.
You’ll do your phase 2/ trade training where you’ll train to the equivalent of an ambulance technician plus learn all of your single service skills too such as medical records etc. University is not a given and only limited places per year are available and it’s hard to get on the course. If you want to be a Paramedic then it’s best to do civvy street and then join the RAF reserves as a Paramedic but if you want the experience as an RAF Medic then join regulars and you can use your training to APEL onto a university paramedic programme either once you’ve left the service in the future or by getting a place on an RAF Medic to Paramedic course.
Can't say of the specific design but I know the RAF sauce some of their gear through SP Services. Well worth checking out. I've brought a lot equipment from them in the past and they've always been very professional. Lots of choices of Back Packs for Tactical and Civilian environments.
I’m in year 10 now and I really wanna be a Combat medic in the RAF, if people in the comments have any advice for me I will be willing to read and listen to your advice :))
Hi We don't have a Combat Medic role in the RAF, the RAF Medic role is primarily admin-based. You can see information about the role on the RAF Recruitment website: www.raf.mod.uk/recruitment/roles/roles-finder/medical-and-medical-support/raf-medic RAF Recruitment
@@royalairforceis this still true, the RAF medic role seems very similar to a combat medic and specifically states trauma and pre hospital care similar to a tech and paramedic role, not admin focused at all
@@Chris_Baker That's the recruitment talk, when your on a UK base you work in the RAF med centre fulfilling the roll of day to day basic care, from walk in cases, giving vaccines, hearing tests, handing out paracetamol/ Ibuprofen and yes, filling out plenty of paperwork for each one. Then if there is an emergency on the runway or in the buildings you'll take the ambulance and deal with it. The only time you'll be a "combat medic" is if you were attached to a RAF Regt unit that is deploying and (sadistically/ morally questionably ) hope something goes wrong and allows you to perform as a "combat medic" in a tactical situation. That isn't a guarantee and those positions are hotly contested for.
@@DayMatthew968 ye I've researched more and the RAF medic does seem to be more a care assistant than a medic really and the names a bit iffy, the navy medical role interest me slightly but again is a lot of non actual combat/paramedic trauma or day to day clinical need and more 'in case' army CMT seems to be more what I'm looking for. Thanks for the reply mate, appreciate it.
@Royal Air Force ---> The medic states that his kit is a 586 from TMW. Is this pack available to civilian purchases? I cannot find it anywhere on Google as of yet. American Paramedic here. Thanks.
Hi The RAF Medic role is primarily admin-based, not clinical. Although there are paramedic opportunities, it's not guaranteed. Whether you can become a paramedic in a civilian role will be up to you. RAF Recruitment
Apparently it's not all that painful according to patients, especially compared to the earlier versions of IO access which were a large needle you manually twisted into the bone. What really hurts is pushing the fluids and drugs through the needle, because obviously the inside of the bone isn't all that well designed for having cold salty water flushed into it.
RAF, can only males become medics? I'm guessing that's a no so why does the title say 'his' bag? Get with it RAF, It should be 'their' bag. You're usually pretty good at this sort of thing, were you having an off day?
It’s common knowledge that every role in the UK Armed Forces is open to men and women. If it happened to have been a female medic the bag would have been ‘hers’. Maybe Jammy Dodger should take a day off from seeking offence where none exists.
@@dannyrobertson7046 - you replied to me you cockwomble, if you don't like it mute me. But take note, your fledgling RAF career will not be enhanced by you not being capable of comprehending why this is important.

There is an officer role, Medical Support Officer.
@@jellyfishdave you have to have a degree in medicine
@@mattc3991 nope, same requirements as any other officer role - 5 GCSEs and 2 A-levels.
@@jellyfishdave As a Medical Support Officer you aren't a paramedic/medic, you're more involved in the logistics of field medical care and would therefore never go out with the MERT etc.
what be good to know some of the specifics of whats in each module.
Can we have more medic info/ videos, I am in the recruitment process for RAF medic, thanks.
Vikki Leigh Hi! I'm debating on joining the RAF as a medic, how's your experience so far? Would be very grateful to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
I was an RAF Medic for 5 years and left in 2014, I now work as for the NHS Ambulance Service, if you want any advice feel free to give me a shout
@@captainhindsight8779 I'm thinking of joining as a reserve medic, do you know what the scope of practice is for a reservist?
@@captainhindsight8779 do you go university before or after training

How quickly can you pack that bag up when you finish treating casualty and need to get moving to evac vehicle/helicopter ?
Please advise what kind of Backpack that is. Looks perfect.
its absolutely terrible. trust me

What goes into the side pouches?
Beer and weed.
Remove the dark background of the subtitles and place the text more downward. Now the dark area covers the most important area of the picture.

TMW = tactical medical wing. It’s military issue not for civilian use.
I'm a paramedic, and I live in Australia, where can I get this medic bag?
Very informative video.
i was wondering if i joined the raf as a medic would i be able to be a paramedic as a civilian

AAAAAAAHHHH I need a medic bag
+Royal Air Force why is the video subtitled? The man has no problem being understood.
*Deaf people or people who are not native English speakers will be glad the video is subtitled.*
JoeDurobot I would agree with that but they don’t subtitle every video that they would do if it was for that reason.
That drill looks horrific

Works like a dream when you need to thou :D
Just a little tickle. You so fucked up by the time you need one of those you really don’t care.
