I’m a naturally caring person so I’ve always dreamt of being a paramedic to be able to help and care for people.” Sidrah will now study Paramedic Science at Edgehill University.  

With her impressive result Francesca is able to progress to St George’s University in London to also study Paramedic Science. Francesca said “I’m so excited to move down to London and I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to help people and I think it will be such an exciting career.”

Paramedic Science is an extremely competitive course with high entry requirements so we are very proud that our students have secured their places and are pursuing their dreams to work for our wonderful NHS service. Francesca summed up her time at St Mary’s “it has been amazing! I’ve made friends for life even during our virtual teaching time. All the teachers are so supportive and I can’t thank them enough for everything they have helped me with.”
