By all means.

 

Firstly, I would personally either start of with "Dear Sir/Madam" or, better still, ring up and ask the receptionist the name of the person likely to deal with this sort of request. You don't have to make the request over the phone, but that extra effort will be self-evident and can only help your cause.

 

Secondly, I'd widen your request slightly. You're telling them why you would like their help, and what you intend to do. You're also telling them that spending time as a third man is your ideal. They may be able to help you, but at least leave the door open so that if they can't, they can offer an alternative.

 

Other than that, it sounds as if you've put original thought and effort in, and that speaks volumes. Good luck.

as above, go for it Emma, experiance like that counts for as much as any class based learning, plus it gives you a better perspective of what front line staff do

OK, how about this. I would suggest you still reword it to fit in with your phraseology, but it's a starting point nonetheless.

 

"Dear Sir/Madam (or person's name if you can find it out)

 

My name is Emma ####, and I am currently attending an Access into Health Care course at ##### , ###### with the intention of applying for a place at university to study Paramedic science. As further preparation for this, I would very much like to get a better insight into the the subject in operation, and if possible, the ideal would be if I were able to spend a day/evening as third man with one of your ambulance crew. However, even if this is not possible, I would be very grateful for any help you may be able to give."

I've just finished a book written by a London ambulance driver/paramedic called Blood, Sweat & Tea, it was fascinating the things he had to deal with, upsetting too especially when children were involved. I downloaded it for free through iBooks on my iPhone, there is a sequel too but I've decided not to read it. The first one set me thinking too much! The books are made up of posts from his blog, so easy to pick up and put down. Would recommend it if that's the sort of thing you're interesting in doing.

oooo thankyou - will take a peek at that

I used to read his blogs they're brilliant. You will probably need a CRB check and sign confidentiality agreement when doing work experience. Your college should be able to get that done for you.

 

Another area that may help you is to contact minor injuries units or drop in centres where you could get some experience and bit of insight into urgent care.
