BCEHS is a proud partner in the first ever International Paramedics Day. This is an especially fitting time to be celebrating paramedics. The challenges of the past two years brought on by a global pandemic, climate-related emergencies, and other events have been daunting, yet day after day we see the kindness, strength, empathy, resourcefulness and humility that paramedics bring to their work, their patients, their colleagues and their communities. Sending out a huge thank you to paramedics in BC and around the world!

It is a unique profession that just keeps changing and diversifying. Paramedics are insatiable. They always want what is best for those who they help, they are innovative, creative, compassionate, determined and have boundless energy for what really matters. Whilst only a small profession in number, it has such an incredible impact on people’s lives.

Paramedics are a vital part of the NHS workforce, providing life-saving care to millions of people each year.
Whether they’re on an ambulance delivering hands-on care, giving advice over the phone in 999 and 111 control centres or working alongside GPs in local surgeries, the role paramedics play has never been more important.
We’re delighted to be supporting the first ever International Paramedics Day and to celebrate the amazing role they play in the UK and across the globe.

I’m incredibly proud to support the first ever International Paramedics Day. In my 40-year paramedic career I’ve seen the profession innovate rapidly with new skills and the latest equipment to improve our ability to save lives and improve clinical outcomes.
“Hundreds of paramedics come to NARU each year to learn new skills and abilities to become Hazardous Area Response Team operatives to ensure that the NHS Ambulance Service is effectively trained and fully equipped to provide the best front-line healthcare during the most complex incidents.
International Paramedics Day is celebrated in the same week as the NHS’s birthday, so it’s a perfect time to celebrate paramedics here in England but also around the world.

We must uphold and acknowledge the vital job performed by paramedics worldwide. This is done best through education and by increasing their skill level, both at a professional and personal level.

I'm proud to be a paramedic because I get the opportunity to really change people's lives for the better, very cliche I know but it honestly means the world to me, if I graduate, to devote my whole life to helping others.

I am proud to be a paramedic because, when someone's day feels like the darkest possible moment in their life... I hopefully get to change that into a bright and colourful day full of hope.
