International Paramedics Day is a time to recognise and celebrate the dedication, skill, and compassion of paramedics around the world. At Practice Plus IUC, our paramedics play a crucial role in urgent care, providing expert advice, triage, and support to patients when every second counts.
Paramedics in urgent care don’t just respond to emergencies — they ensure patients get the right guidance and care at the right time. Whether advising over the phone in NHS 111 or coordinating urgent treatment pathways, our paramedics bring reassurance and expertise to every patient interaction. Their work is often high-pressure, yet vital for patient safety and wellbeing.
A career that fits your life

Simon Andrew, a Clinical Advisor and seasoned paramedic with over two decades of global experience, joined the NHS 111 team at Practice Plus IUC in 2024. He explains the benefits of working in this fast-paced environment:
“Being a Clinical Advisor can be mentally challenging, but I love the working environment. You don’t feel isolated. Your voice is heard and counted on. The job fits around my life. I get the headspace to take care of my priorities and mental health. At the same time, the role remains challenging and rewarding.”
Simon’s experience highlights how urgent care roles at Practice Plus IUC provide professional growth, team support, and flexibility, allowing paramedics to thrive while maintaining their wellbeing.
