Paramedic Science is a new university course (in england) which trains you to become a fully qualified paramedic. Depending on what university you go to it is either a 2, 3 or 4 year course. The ambulance service across England is changing and instead of working as a technician first then working your way up to a paramedic, there is a move to slowly get rid of the technician role and all paramedics will eventually have to do the university course in order to qualify. Instead of technicians, paramedics will start working with emergency care assistants (ECAs) who have less training so basically are cheaper for the NHS.
