The questions asked at my Paramedic Science interview today:

1] How's your driving going? Have you booked your test? Done the theory?

2] Do you have a criminal record?

3] Why do you want to become a paramedic by coming to university instead of doing it via the other route?

4] How would you make sure you get your assignments in on time?

5] Say you witness a really traumatic event and afterwards all you could think of was that event. As much as you tried you couldn't help but think about it. How would you overcome this? **STUUUUCK!**

6] What values would you have in order for you to be a paramedic?

7] What's an ECP?

8] How is the role of paramedics changing?

9] What would your best friend say are your good/bad points for becoming a paramedic?

10] What are the questions you would like to ask us?

Hey, thanks for posting these - I'm sure lots of people will find them useful. Would you mind posting some of your answers if you can remember what you said?

Cheers, and good luck with your application.

Unfortunately i didn't get a place. The competition must have been pretty imense.

I just waffled for most of the things they asked about myself.
What is a ECP? Emergency Care Practitioner - they are one role up from a paramedic. They tend to people in their own homes and can give out drugs which paramedics are not qualified to do.

How is a paramedics role changing? Basically, they are having to tend to more non-emergency things and if possible, not take patients to hospital. They are also beggining to become trained to do more advanced things.

Why i would make a good paramedic? I just said the usual.. i'm a hard worker, trustworthy, caring... etc.
Bad paramedic? I was stumped, i just came out with i get bored easily - don't think that went down too well.
