    RE: Medipro Training UK, Offshore Medic Course

    It's seems the NUH is the best as far reputation goes especially for re-certifying. The whole offshore medic course and re-certification is an outdated concept especially with clinical governance. However, companies and people still pay so someone will provide it. Offshore "medic" probably...

    Average Iraq/Afghanistan Paramedic pay rates??

I get calls from companies and recruitment agencies I've never heard of saying some big company needs a post and I'm suitable. Its $500 per day...
