Staff Profile
Tamsyn Weston
Senior Lecturer
I graduated from Teesside University in 2009 with a BSc in Applied Science and Forensic Investigations. Following this I wanted to follow my heart and joined Yorkshire Ambulance Service as a Patient Transport Service Apprentice. I undertook further training and qualified as a Paramedic in 2018 from Sheffield Hallam University. I later undertook a BSc Top-up in Paramedic Science at Huddersfield university before being offered a 2 year long secondment there in 2022 and later was made a permanent member of staff on the Paramedic teaching team and achieved my MSc in Health Studies. In 2025 I moved to York St John University as a senior lecturer across the Paramedic programmes.

Further information
Teaching
I have taught across BSc, apprenticeships and MSc Paramedic programmes as well as being a fellow of FHEA. I have also been instrumental in forging links with practice partners and educators to ensure that practice placements were beneficial to the students and the partner agencies.
Research
I have undertaken research into Paramedics in Social Care (PISCES) with NHSE and in collaboration with the University of Bradford which I have submitted for publication. I was also a member of the expert panel for the LEAP Culture Change conference as well as running a workshop on using simulation as placement for healthcare students. I have a strong interest in simulation as well as the wellbeing of healthcare professionals and intend to undertake a PhD in the near future looking into one of these areas.
