Hi.

I'm a Paramedic in Scotland.

Just thought I'd drop in and say howdy.

Anyone know what a UK Paramedic is equivalent to in The USA?

JB.
 
No one want to say hello? :blink:

Maybe this forum's not for me.....
 
Welcome Jumbo! I don't know what sub-section of the forum this is as I'm using my phone app, but this area may not be as widely viewed as others. We're happy to have you here.

As far as the UK certification, I believe your scope is similar to most US paramedics. You do have more options to suggest or implement various other dispositions beyond a trip to the ED though, which is lacking in most US EMS systems.

Welcome!

A paramedic in Scotland is a paramedic in the states, however you have a bit more training then we do. It can be transferred, but it's a lengthy process.
