Staff development pathways – the latest numbers

As well as recruiting vast numbers of student paramedics, the Trust is taking big steps with its internal ECA to EMT, and EMT to paramedic pathways.

To date, 75 ECAs have completed or been assigned to a conversion course, and 57 technicians are on their way to becoming paramedics. Below you can see the timescale for when the courses are running and when the students are due to qualify:
