Hello everyone. I’m a USA paramedic for the past 5 years moving to the UK later this year. I’m looking for any advice on what to expect and or what to prepare for in my employment searches in the UK.

I’ve already obtained my HCPC paramedic registration, and I won’t need an employer sponsorship.

I’ve spoken to a few paramedics in different ambulance trusts and they’ve said most recruitment comes from university graduates etc so there not sure how it will be for someone moving from abroad. Any advice is appreciated.

I’ve also been wondering what other certificates and or classes I’ll need besides my HCPC registration? I’m used to ACLS, PALS, PHTLS, BLS etc.

Again any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!
