Medicare EMS Group UK Ltd acknowledges the recent closure of the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) and the official launch of Skills England. This marks a significant shift in the UK’s skills development landscape, bringing together key responsibilities under one organisation to streamline and enhance the national approach to technical education and workforce readiness.
Over the years, IfATE has played a pivotal role in shaping standards that underpin much of our workforce development at Medicare EMS, particularly in areas such as paramedic support, ambulance care, and emergency medical services. We thank the teams at IfATE for their dedication, insight, and professionalism in advancing the UK’s technical education framework.
As Skills England begins its important work, we at Medicare EMS as a Main Provider of apprenticeships are committed to aligning with its refreshed strategy. We see this transition as an opportunity to further strengthen our apprenticeship and workforce development programmes, ensuring our teams remain at the forefront of pre-hospital care innovation and safety.
