I have the greatest respect and admiration of all Paramedics in the U.K. for their professionalism and medical knowledge and the speed with which they regurlarly save lives. I hope they are on at least £500 per wk does anybody know if they are?

I would imagine that they are on that average wage and more. They run the risk of being sued you know, for doing things against a person's wishes, like giving blood to Jehovah's witnesses.
Are you sure about being sued, JohnnyBoy? I would have thought their employment contract would cover them in the situation you mention
Ambulance people are usually covered under their employers insurance - called vicarious liability

Here you go, dinger, there's a link to the pay scales further down the page - the pay's not particularly clever, paramedics get £25K p.a. according to this http://www.nhscareers...s/Default.aspx?Id=132
Ambulance Care Assistant:
"ACAs can earn between £13,600 and £16,750 a year.
With experience this can rise to around £18,500"

Ambulance Technician:
"Ambulance technicians, where they are still employed, can earn between around £18,100 and £22,000 a year"
https://nextstep.dire...83/Pages/default.aspx

Ambulance Paramedic:
"Student paramedics may be paid around £15,500 to £18,600 a year.
Qualified paramedics can earn around £21,200 to £27,500.
ECPs and team leaders can earn up to £34,200.
Area managers may earn around £40,200."

That's the link I used Eddie - all the national NHS payscales are on there. The private sector is very likely to pay more!
