Joshua Ferdinand, MACPara, MCPara

I started my professional career as a primary school teacher, however pivoted to a career in EMS after a profound experience with med school and dental students in their elective year in St Vincent and the Grenadines in the UK. I was fortunate and am old enough to have been accepted by a state ambulance service to be a student paramedic directly with them. This was several years before it was mandatory to have a degree to register in the UK. I worked in the NHS for nearly five years before venturing to Australia, where I dual registered as a teacher and paramedic but spent most of my time frontline for St John in New South Wales. Since returning to the UK, I have taken up a lecturer practitioner role, teaching student paramedics and practicing clinically in primary and private practice. I particularly enjoy designing active learning programmes, educational games and research.
