C1 Driver Training

Location

South West England:

Description

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust ("SWASFT") has awarded a framework for the provision of C1 Driver Training services for paramedics at all sites across the six (6) counties of the South West of England. C1 Ambulance driver training is required for paramedics because most ambulances fall under the C1 vehicle category, which refers to vehicles weighing between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes. Paramedics typically drive these larger vehicles due to the weight of the ambulance, medical equipment, and personnel on board. The training ensures that paramedics are legally licensed to drive these vehicles and have the necessary skills to handle larger, more complex vehicles safely, particularly in emergency situations where speed and precision are crucial. It covers topics such as vehicle control, safe loading and unloading patients, and emergency driving techniques.
