M1 – an assessment of how particular skills contribute to providing a positive experience for users of care services
There are many health care professions in the world and in this essay I going to explain two of them. In detail I will describe what the job involves and where this job is suited.

A paramedic works in the ambulance service, responding to all sorts of incidents, such as road accidents or sport injuries.
They are trained well to make sure the patient is stable and taken to a hospital for treatment as quickly as possible. They are also trained to drive, what is in effect a mobile emergency clinic and resuscitate/ stabilise patients using sophisticated techniques, as well as equipment and drugs.

A paramedic needs to be decisive and use their quick thinking skills as well as provide a reassuring environment for the patient and their relatives. It is also important for a paramedic to have
