Abi Catnach

I am a caring and compassionate Paramedic Practitioner / UCP with over 10 years of experience in healthcare. I have a longstanding history in the Ambulance service where my career has now transitioned into Urgent care in MIUs, Ooh triage and visits and GP surgeries. I am starting my prescribing course at the University of Exeter in Sept which will last 6 months. 

I am an experienced and enthusiastic Paramedic Practitioner currently working in the UK. With over 10 years of healthcare experience, I have challenged my academic and professional career to focus in a spectrum of healthcare delivery involving urgent, emergency and remote medicine. Whilst regularly practicing as a Paramedic in the UK,  my medical practice predominantly surrounds emergency prehospital care, general practice and urgent care. I plan to complete my ACP qualification, having competed a level 7 PGcert in minor illness and injury but next course is the Prescribing course at Exeter university in Sept 2023.
