Christopher Moat, Head of Education and Research, CIPHER medical
Having joined the ambulance service in 1990, Chris enjoyed a long and varied 24 year career. Throughout this time, he was fortunate to be able to experience a wide range of clinical and educational roles whilst advancing his clinical skills. Alongside this, he advanced his academic qualifications in line with the development of the profession and personal career development. Upon resigning from the ambulance service, Chris began a new career in higher education where his passion for paramedic education developed further. As an academic, he was able to contribute towards paramedic curriculum development both locally and nationally and has been fully engaged with the College of Paramedics as a educational visitor. Recently, his career has moved away from academia to a new and exciting challenge in the independent sector where he is employed as the Head of Education and research within CIPHER medical. 'This is a challenging but rewarding role and I look forward to continuing to develop and shape future pre-hospital clinicians.' Chris has also recently been appointed as the Geographical lead Paramedic for the North East and Yorkshire, a role within the College which he looks forward to developing further.
