Advanced Paramedics are exempt from the HAAD examination process. Others not listed i.e.: PHECC Paramedics must sit the HAAD exam.

The list published shows who is exempt from the exam.

Has anybody applied that was at PHECC Paramedic level? Will they entertain an application? What about bringing a wife or family?

ambo112

Yea, my colleague went at paramedic level, once they accept your c.v. there is an online written exam, mcq, pretty straight forward nothing too out of the box.

If you are an AP you don't have to do the online exam.

I you are married you can bring spouse and kids expenses paid. If not married, they are on their own in terms of costs.

drvr

Thanks for the clarification. Sounding better every minute.

ambo112

Yea, there are three if us thinking of going as a group and an AP also thinking of going.

Couple of years away, save a small fortune in the bank and come back as an AP.

Their training is recognised in the UK as paramedic so no doubt it will make the AP grade :-)

Sounds good Ambo112, even my wife was telling me to go for it......don't know if I should be worried lol

Hahaha, a couple of years away would sort our financial issues,if we go we aim to have the mortgage paid in full before we come back. Such a shortage of staff here there would be no problem rejoining especially as an AP and mortgage free!!

............ Hopefully :-)

Does anybody have any feedback from anybody who went to Dubai at Paramedic level? As in the volume of calls, availability of OT (might as well work as much as you can while you're there), lifestyle, cost of living etc?

Lads I knew a few work colleagues that went out there years ago some still working there,One thing they all commented on was the heat of the place it is one thing doing 2/3 weeks in Spain or Florida on holiday but the sand pit is something else.
Most people working there live in communes and the place is full of Irish lots of Ex Ryanair/City Jet pilots and cabin crew among other professions,Also there is direct flights to Dubai 7 days a week from Dublin with Emirates.

There are bars in Dubai and the mad thing is you see all these so called Muslim Sheiks walking around with russian women wearing mini skirts.

Hi all,

Application gone in so now we will wait and see> any one else applied or any further relevant info!

I see a few nurse mates have passed interviews for general nursing positions too!

truebluesac

Id be carefull thinking that you would come back as an AP . Plenty have gone to the states and england in the past done the paramedic course there come back and phecc wouldnt put them on the register as AP just as paramedics . Others have all had to go on the course here .

You may come back with the skills training and experience but PHECC may just say no .

Hi All

I am trying to send all the requested documentation to this email address Paramedics@nationalambulance.ae and it keeps throwing it back saying that it cannot deliver. Am i missing something here? Is there a different email address?

raytaxi

I might have had the same problem;) got a pdf to work and included a link to documents on dropbox
Hope that works for you

YOPA

Thanks for that raytaxi. I noticed shortly after posting on the thread that the email was too big to be accepted so split all the attachments ober a feww emails. Any one currently passed this stage or know of anyone just to give us an idea qhat to expect next as I am quite looking forward to this opportunity if successful.

Well Guys any update on how yer applications are going?

Hi folks,

I am also a PHECC registered paramedic looking to emigrate. I heard of these positions being advertised last year but didn't have an interest at the time. I have also been looking into canada but there is a serious amount of loops to jump through to get in there. I see by the Dubai National Ambulance service web page mentioned in one of the above posts, that they are not currently recruiting.

Anyone know if its been a constant recruitment since they first started and they are now saturated with irish Para`s or if it has been advertised in waves? Anyone on this thread actually end up going over? How are they getting on?

medic112

Hi, i believe they are not going to advertise until later on in the year, possibly november. know of 2 APs gone, 1 last year with the family & the second going out in 2 weeks but on this own as they're out of family accommodation. (remember its just not irish paras its paras from all over the world applying)

just keep on checking the website & maybe send them an expression of interest.

Are they only accepting AP's or Paramedics also? ,as im at Paramedic level at the moment. I cant imagine ill see an AP course in ireland for at least 2 years minimum, having not even sat an entrance MCQ yet.

Also, have peoples employers,either HSE or fire birgdade, been allowing them sabbatical leave or have they had to completly resign from there irish employment? This is something i have to find out.

raytaxi

Friend that went from HSE had to resign position no career breaks at moment due to "needs of the service" is the line they are taking. That was last year and I believe it has not changed.
Also be aware if you leave and come back you will start back on point one of pay scale, terms and condition's will be what ever they are when you come back, also your pension will be calculated differently believe it will be career average salary not final salary average 3 years.
