Hello all, and welcome to this 'Temporary Registered Student Paramedic' support site which has been created (amazingly quickly!) in collaboration with University educators, Ambulance Service colleagues and other passionate and enthusiastic people around the UK. We thank you sincerely for rising to this challenge and for supporting our newly registered colleagues in some of the most challenging times our NHS has ever faced.

To those of you visiting this site to explore and learn, it may be that your induction or practice based education period will be much briefer than you would expect as a fully fledged NQP. Or that you are taking on a support role for your local ambulance service. With all these new and unchartered steps in mind we aim to build a virtual community of peer support for you to ensure you are as well prepared as possible to begin clinical practice today, in the context of Covid-19 and in the future as a permanent HCPC registrant.

I was honoured and privileged to be asked to support this webpage which has been created in a little over a week, it has grown from an embryonic idea of some skills videos for medicines management to the wide ranging support site that it has become.

Once the COVID-19 crisis abates it will evolve again to become an NQP support site (hence the URL). Please do email me here, or tweet with any ideas of how it could be improved.
