Gerry Egan, Chief Executive, College of Paramedics

I love the flexibility as well as the quality of the learning. You can study for five minutes at a time, or an hour at a time, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you have learning to support your practice, which you can access at any time, on any device, as long as you are online. Paramedics deal with such a wide variety of clinical cases and this e-learning is ideal for keeping up to date and expanding your knowledge.
