Paramedic

What does it take to be a Paramedic over there in the UK? I’m considering moving there someday down the road after I finish schooling here, but was wondering what it takes to be the head cheese on the ambulance. How long? Do they have EMTs over there? Are they as well respected there like they are over here in my country where ppl consider them almost “God-like”? Even the doctors here love them and let them do so much with patients. So, is anyone involved in the field or does anyone have good insight? Anything helps. Thank you!
