About The Prehospital Care Programme

The Prehospital Care Programme offers a four-year interlinking student-selected component (SSC) for selected medical students at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry. The aim of the SSC is for students to understand the basics of Prehospital Care by having them complete shifts with a designated paramedic/doctor mentor, who will teach and guide the students throughout their learning. The specially designed programme will not only provide education and support for medical students but will also engage them in integrated, multi-agency, training from the London Ambulance Service (LAS) and London's Air Ambulance (LAA). This unique educational pathway is a four-year Student Selected Component of the MBBS degree and aims to make Barts & The London a centre of excellence for this type of undergraduate Prehospital Care Training. We also run monthly forums during which we hear from students who present cases from their shifts but also expert speakers who discuss different concepts in prehospital care. These talks are open to all healthcare/emergency students and professionals from around the world and are not exclusive to SSC students.
