Extend the NHS Graduate Guarantee to newly qualified paramedics

Summary

We want the Government to extend the NHS Graduate Guarantee to newly qualified paramedics, providing a supported route into employment after completing their degree and gaining HCPC registration, amid concerns about limited vacancies for newly qualified paramedics. Student paramedics undertake years of demanding academic study and extensive clinical placements to qualify for a vital healthcare profession. Yet many are approaching graduation facing limited vacancies and uncertainty about employment. We believe workforce planning should better align training places with available roles, and newly qualified paramedics should receive the same opportunity for a supported transition into NHS employment as other healthcare graduates.
