Paramedic Science facilities

Study Paramedic Science with us, and build your skills in an environment that simulates real-life experiences.

There are three dedicated spaces with easy access to all of your specialised kit, mannequins, trolleys and simulation equipment.

You can choose to study Paramedic Science at ARU in Cambridge or Chelmsford. You'll find paramedic skills labs on both campuses.



There is also a self-contained flat for use by paramedic students in Chelmsford. This studio flat has a fitted kitchen, bedroom area, and bathroom with bath, toilet, sink and shower. It's a teaching space, and also a place to practice skills and scenarios in a true-to-life environment.

"I have really enjoyed our many practical sessions organised by our paramedic lecturers in our skills lab. This is because they are multifunctional and allow us to practice the skills learnt from our theory lectures with the equipment that is used on the road."

"As a newbie to healthcare entirely, the clinical domain was a complete enigma to me, but the skills lab was a fantastic place to begin to develop and enhance my clinical skills in a safe, supportive environment. Despite being taught certain skills within the lab, there were times where I lacked confidence. I voiced my worries to my skills lecturer and she set up extra sessions for anyone that felt they needed extra support"
