How are your Ambulance Staff Trained?

Grade A and B1 Staff are trained in-house by our own instructors, who are qualified to teach to health and Safety standards within All Wales. 

All other staff are trained by an outside body of instructors who are paramedic instructors/assessors within the NHS. Certification for these courses comes from Medical Training Ltd, under the authorization of the medical director.
