Every 15 seconds...Somewhere in Australia...Someone calls an ambulance

Every 15 seconds somewhere in Australia someone calls an ambulance. Rushing to help are paramedics, our most trusted profession. From bleeding noses to life and death calls, paramedics know what having a bad day really means. Those who work the frontline of emergency medicine walk into and out of nightmares again and again. They're with us in some of the most intimate moments of our lives, protecting the weak, repairing the damage, saving lives and for these people, this is their dream job. Recruits Paramedics follows the journey of everyday people setting out to achieve a lifelong ambition to become a paramedic. New recruits must first survive 8 gruelling weeks of medical theory and assessment at Paramedic College. Many have no medical knowledge or background but they arrive armed with an overpowering motivation to save lives. Their journey will be life transforming. They'll not only learn the simplicity of the ABCs: airway, circulation and breathing, but also realise there's hundreds of reasons why those ABC's stop working.
