I can’t recommend Grit and Gauze Academy highly enough! Matt is absolutely fantastic at what he does and brings an incredible level of knowledge, professionalism, and enthusiasm to every medical training session. He has been mentoring me for the past couple of weeks and has made me so confident in all my med skills.
He has a brilliant way of making complex medical topics easy to understand while keeping the training engaging, practical, and memorable. You can tell how passionate Matt is about helping people build real confidence and competence in their medical skills.
The training is informative, hands-on, and delivered in a way that makes you feel supported throughout. Matt is approachable, patient, and always happy to explain things clearly and answer questions.
If you’re looking for high-quality medical training from someone who genuinely cares about what he teaches, I’d definitely recommend Grit and Gauze Academy. Matt is exceptional at what he does!

I have known Matt for 5 years.
As an experienced Paramedic Practitioner I worked with him in both a frontline medical role and a training role assisting him in training junior military medics.
Matt’s clinical knowledge and experience is unrivalled, as good as any Paramedic and in many circumstances better and more knowledgeable than them. I honestly think he taught me as much as I did him.
Matt is extremely passionate and dedicated to his craft and anyone interested in learning or developing their skills could not ask for a better teacher or mentor.

I first met Matthew in Cyprus, and within minutes it felt like we’d known each other for years. From day one he took me under his wing and became an incredible mentor. I learned more from him than I ever thought possible, and he always took the time to explain things in a way that made sense to me.
His patience, knowledge, and genuine passion for emergency work gave me a real taste for the profession and helped build my confidence. Over time, our mentor-student relationship turned into a lifelong friendship, and I will always be grateful for the support and guidance he gave me.
When Matthew told me about Grit and Gauze, I honestly couldn’t think of a better person for the job. He puts his heart, dedication, and genuine care into helping people develop the skills and confidence to help others. In a world where those qualities can be hard to find, Matthew stands out. His commitment to supporting and encouraging others is something I’ve witnessed firsthand, and it is one of the many reasons I have so much respect for him.
I’m now approaching the end of my final year of paramedic L6, and Matthew played a significant role in helping me get to where I am today. A true professional, an exceptional mentor, and an even better friend.
