Assessment part 2

Well, it has been and gone. I felt that it was not brilliant and I could and should have done better. BUT I passed.
There was a written test of 75 questions with a passmark of 75% and three practical assessments:-
A resus using AED and BVM
A medical condition that we had to diagnose and get a history for.
finally a trauma where we had to treat and load.
Both of the last two we had to do a handover for.
24 hours later I was asked if I could do a shift on support duty for the local ambulance service, nothing like going straight in at the deep end.
