A NEW training centre set up by people who actively work on the front line has opened in Ellesmere Port.

Medical Education Group was formed by ex-staff of a recently closed down ambulance company and training provider.

They saw a need for high-quality medical education in the area and formed the group.

Part of the small team of six are educators and an office manager. 

The educators are a mix of paramedics and technicians that actively work the front line to ensure ambulances remain current and competent.

Medical Education Group offers education courses from first aid to pre-hospital care with an aim to provide high-quality courses to businesses and individuals in the local area.

Their education centre, located at the Ellesmere Port Technology Centre, allows them the room to deliver all of the courses to a high quality and for learners to be able to enjoy a break and a coffee.
