Prehospital Care Programme

Welcome to the Prehospital care programme

The Prehospital Care Programme, established in 2007, is a unique educational opportunity offered to medical students at Barts and the London School of Medicine, in collaboration with the London Ambulance Service (LAS) and the London's Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS). It offers a chance for selected students to become part of a structured programme, allowing them to gain early clinical exposure in the prehospital environment. It was the first of such programmes to be implemented in the UK.

For more information regarding the programme visit the about us section and the gallery.

The next academic forum will be on Tuesday 29th May, 6-8pm.
Theme: Case of the Year
