Currently based in the UK, I have always wanted to go into trauma/tactical medicine especially in a firearms role so SWAT style positions but with some actual medical scope which isn’t something I have really seen here in the UK as a profession outside of the armed forces or in a limited capacity here in certain police forces. While I have done some research online there is also some questions I have:

What’s the training process like to go into EMS, as I know here there are degrees to become a paramedic and then AAP courses below that, is it the same there or is it a different kind of certification

Do you have to be firearms trained or medical trained before joining a unit or is that something they train you on, as I know in the US if you are a EMT you can volunteer to work with the SWAT in a reserve list I don’t know if that’s nationwide or just state specific.

What’s the best career path into these kinds of roles and what scope do you get

Do the physical fitness, education, driving license and equipment requirements change per unit

Both are online and both get fully funded which makes them cheaper, it just depends which is more employable and which is easier to get better grades in as to be able to go to a masters then MALD and MBA within the future, and which courses are best value:

Combined Stem OU
Management OU
Data Science with Business Analysis UOL
Economics UOL
Law UOL or OU

As the plan is to then do a Risk MSc probably in person then go onto do MALD and a MBA in the US
