Biography
Bryan joined West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service (now Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) NHS Trust) in January 2001, having completed his initial Emergency Medical Technician training with Mersey Ambulance Service (now North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust). His early career was spent working at stations throughout Leeds, and by 2003 he had qualified as a Paramedic. Within two years, Bryan had secured a position as a Clinical Team Educator and soon after qualified as a Clinical Tutor and spent time at the Trust’s Training and Education Centre (Elm Bank). As part of a subsequent Trust reorganisation, Bryan secured a position as a Clinical Supervisor and spent 3 years of his career working in the Kirklees and Calderdale division. During this period, he completed a BSc Paramedic Sciences degree and also attained an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice, which allowed him to secure a position as an Urgent Care Practitioner with Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) NHS Trust. Bryan then went on to work with Airedale Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner, working within the Acute Medical and Ambulatory Care Units. Bryan retains a bank contract with Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) NHS Trust and has now worked at the University of Bradford since June 2017 and is an Assistant Professor on the Paramedic Sciences programme.
