Scotland EMS

[ViolynEMT]

Are there any EMS folks on here from or in Scotland? I'm going there soon and would love to pick some brains. I will be gentle.

I am from there.

Where in Scotland? My family is from Ayrshire. Do you know anyone in EMS there? I would love to know how it works there. What their education is for each level, etc........

Where in Scotland?

Outskirts of Glasgow

My family is from Ayrshire.

Know it well. I spent many a night out in the Brassie / Troon area.

Do you know anyone in EMS there?

My brother worked there for about 15 years before moving elsewhere in the UK

I would love to know how it works there. What their education is for each level, etc........

It's basically the same as any other NHS trust in the UK - minus the need for a university degree...for now.

A very broad overview here http://www.scottishambulance.com/WorkingForUs/technicianadvert.aspx

My family has its roots in Mauchline. My 5th GG Grandfather is part of the Robert (Rabbie) Burns tour. He has a few blue plaques with his name on them throughout the town.
