Neil Hayward, Director
BSc(Hons),HCPC Paramedic, ILS Instructor
After leaving school with no real qualifications, I started on a YTS scheme that saw me learning animal care which led to a placement in a veterinary practice and eventually after further training qualifying as a veterinary nurse. I was 1 of only 17 male vet nurses in the country at the time.
This career sparked my interest in medicine and after moving to London for work, a chance meeting gave me an opportunity to change tack and join London Ambulance Service in 1996 and train to became a Paramedic.
In 1999, I moved back to my native Wirral and joined Mersey Regional Ambulance Service (now North West Ambulance Service) where I still work as a Paramedic part time on frontline Emergency Ambulances within Merseyside and Cheshire. The rest of the time passing on my own knowledge and experiences teaching others valuable life saving skills.
I currently live in North Wales with my long term partner, two young sons and a house full of animals.

Initially joining the Ambulance Service in 1992 on Patient Transport Service duties supporting the elderly, then in 1994 he secured a position as an Emergency Medical Technician within the then Derbyshire Ambulance Service, working throughout the high peaks area of Buxton.
Returning to the Northwest in 1999, I completed my Paramedic training . During my career i have worked in several specialist roles including a 'treat and refer' Paramedic on Rapid Response cars within the Cheshire and Wirral area.
