The Scottish Ambulance Service

The Scottish Ambulance Service moved into AGBC202/204 in April 2018. At the frontline of the NHS in Scotland and with over 4500 members of staff the Scottish Ambulance Service provides an emergency ambulance service to a population of over 5 million people serving all of the nation’s mainland and island communities.

As tenants in the Alexander Graham Bell Centre the Scottish Ambulance Services’ Education Department are providing a 14 week VQ4 Technician Course for the North of Scotland. The course involves 10 weeks clinical training and 4 weeks emergency response ambulance driving training.   The clinical training covers areas such as; manual handling, law and ethics, infection control and immediate life support and the driving training covers areas such as; road traffic law, maneuvering a vehicle at low speed and driving an emergency vehicle on ‘blue lights’.

Once the students have finished their 14 weeks basic training they then move onto 52 weeks placement with an ambulance station where they will get to put all their class based learning into place and once this is complete they will be registered on diploma as a Ambulance Technician (SVQ Level 7).
