Paramedic To Medicine - Will Loveday | PostGradMedic

[@carlygearing8341]

Iv found your video so interesting! I'm currently studying to be a paramedic but I know il be bored after a few years of being qualified. Knowing there is a possibility of going further gives me a lot of hope for my future. Great talk... thank you

[@berkie1365]

Give it a decade.. thats when you have seen most things and its time to move on. I stayed 15.. it was 5 too long

[@melgardner7014]

This video was so helpful! I’m about to finish my Access course at college after working as a Carer for 5 years. I start UWE bristol in September to study Paramedic Science, but during this college course I’ve realised I have a lot more potential and a knack for biology which is fascinating to me! My revised plan is to work as a paramedic for 2 years after graduating before applying to study Graduate medicine. So helpful to see that this is a pathway that works. Thanks! 👏🏻

[@jdothman8575]

This is exactly what I want to, and planning to do. Will, help me!

[@christiancox9614]

Fantastic video. As a nurse looking at Warwick this has really inspired me and really speaks to me.

[@OllieBurtonMed]

Coming soon!

[@tukays1896]

Christian Cox have you made the move? How did it go? I am interested too. Also a nurse

[@admirechitiki2666]

I'm a paramedic as well and you've just inspired me to become a doctor

[@berkie1365]

I am a paramedic, or was a paramedic now in MD. It is nice to see a video from someone who has taken this path too. I am working full Time nights paramedic and Full time MD studies in the day .. eeeeek

[@xx4884xx]

Have you heard about the new fast track method from paramedic to doctor - 3yrs instead of 6 at Med school

[@berkie1365]

@@xx4884xx No... I was asking someone this just the other day. I didnt know that was an option

[@xx4884xx]

@@berkie1365 it will become an option in the UK soon

[@crodaxgames1338]

@@xx4884xx Do you know when more information will be released? I've only seen the dailymail post about it, no updates for months!

[@xx4884xx]

@@crodaxgames1338 remember that brexit has not long ago (Jan 2021) fully finished which means that the UK doesn't have to follow European regulations in doctors having to do med school for 5+ years. They are have been working on this new 3yr fast track method for paramedics and pharmacist for a few months now, these things take time as they have to reduce a 5+ year very intense medical school down to a 3 year fast track course, I think in the next couple of years (3-5 maybe) this will be ready and because we are out of the EU, they can implement this 3yr course.

The CPD course viewpoint is really interesting. I hadn't considered that.

[@WelshKyle]

expensive CPD though... haha

[@kkm4387]

Any dentists to medicine?

[@mohsan9015]

Sports Science background video please.

[@OllieBurtonMed]

Can do!

[@mohsan9015]

@@OllieBurtonMed I'm currently studying Sports Science and would like to work in Sport related medicine. Would a degree in medicine be required to qualify as a physician?

[@OllieBurtonMed]

@@mohsan9015 I'm so sorry I never replied to this, but yes - a physician is a doctor and you'd need a medical degree to work as a sports medic. I'm sure there are lots of physio and paramedic roles available too if you didn't want to endure the training!

[@salamalikum4248]

Nursing to medicine please ☺

[@kruisegabbana9253]

salam alikum hoping for this one as well

[@OllieBurtonMed]

I'm home for the holidays but this will be one of the first ones I film in September! :D sorry for the long wait

[@LR-jl3sv]

Yes!! Can’t wait for this one!!

[@christiancox9614]

Yes please!!! Aspiring nurse medic here

[@OllieBurtonMed]

UPDATE: Being filmed next week!

[@Nathan-tk7ou]

So does this mean that you can become a paramedic and then go on to become a doctor with extra training and study?

[@OllieBurtonMed]

I would see them as two separate career paths really. In this case Will was a paramedic and is now a junior doctor, but he had to go to medical school for that, it wasn't an extension of his paramedic training per se.

[@Nathan-tk7ou]

Yes but can you get into med school with a paramedical science degree?

[@OllieBurtonMed]

@@Nathan-tk7ou Yes you can indeed, it's a perfectly acceptable degree before graduate entry medicine

[@Dylski.]

@@Nathan-tk7ou You can become a doctor with any undergraduate degree at Warwick/newcastle amongst others. Including unrelated degrees like fine art for example. Provided you have relevant experience and have passed the UCAT score

[@ilyasmulla1287]

you know that's Bradley James interviewing him?

[@THECUBER108]

I don’t think it is

[@Sara5548]

Do you need to sit gamsat exam going from paramedics to medicine?

[@OllieBurtonMed]

It depends on the medical school - for Warwick it's the UCAT, but some schools would require the gamsat

[@dawseyboy1]

Did u have a honours degree ? Or don’t u need one if you’re studying paramedics ?

[@OllieBurtonMed]

Will would have graduated with what I assume was a BSc in Paramedic Sciences - this would be a standard honours degree in the UK anyway I believe.

[@mistarsadistephen]

the Perspectives from Psych,Pharm and Para are Perfect but what about like from P-Engineering or P-Com sci? (notice the P's #banter)

[@Bexxxyable]

mistarsadistephen his next videos will include Physiology and Philosophy lol

[@ProfessorTrashuo]

PA to medicine , probably unlikely but worth a shot :)

[@Bexxxyable]

Hi Ollie, thank you very much for the insightful interview, it was really helpful. Would you happen to have Will's e-mail address by any chance?
