Abstract
Third year came around in the blink of an eye. Before I knew it, the Christmas holidays were here and, in the new year, the university had put on a recruitment day for prospective ambulance services to come in to talk to students. Over the two recruitment days, I heard pitches from most ambulance trusts across the UK and Wales. The Trust I carried out my placement with was North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), with other contenders being East Midlands and Yorkshire. Following this, I completed an elective placement with London Ambulance Service (LAS) (Sofield, 2023). While this was with advanced paramedic practitioners in urgent care, it gave me a taste of London Ambulance Service (LAS) as a whole, which sparked an interest in potentially moving and working for them in the future.
