The Level 3 Certificate in Patient Care Services: Ambulance Driving Course has been designed specifically for delegates who already have experience in the health care sector and are looking to move into a non-emergency ambulance driver role. Delegates will already have a full driving licence as well as an understanding of their everyday responsibilities, as a driver, under the auspices of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and the Highway Code. The course is suitable for both NHS ambulance drivers, as well as those working for private healthcare providers.
Completion of this course depends upon the delegates demonstrating their ability to drive a non-emergency vehicle with due care and consideration for other road users and particularly for their patient. It combines driving skills with patient care and advanced road and traffic awareness. It also covers vehicle empathy, in which delegates will learn to anticipate the actions of other drivers on the road in relation to their vehicle.
The Level 3 Certificate in Patient Care Services: Ambulance Driving Course is assessed in multiple ways.
