Does anybody have any advice on the use in Ukrainian of "медбрат" (male equivalent of "медсестра" (nurse)?
Does the ending declne just like "брат"? I can't find a declension table in my usual English-friendly haunts...

Right, so a stress has to go on the second syllable , i.e. "медбра́т", like Russian. Cheers.
To (hopefully?) with a "c" form stress pattern give something like:
nominative медбра́т - медбрати́
genitive медбра́та - медбраті́в
dative медбра́тові, медбра́ту - медбрата́м
accusative медбра́та - медбраті́в
instrumental медбра́том - медбрата́ми
locative медбра́тові, медбра́ті - медбрата́х
vocative медбра́те - медбрати́
...??

If you mean pronunciation, then I'm sorry, it's best to wait for a native Ukrainian speaker to clarify. To my knowledge the root word is still stressed the same, making the pronunciation the same along with the case-ending to follow.
Remember...do something nice for yourself today.
I mean the Ukrainian stress patterns: a, b, c, d, d', e, f or f', based on Andrey Zaliznyak's Russian-language patterns.
Here's an overview where they are used for en.wiktionary Ukrainian templates...

And here, for comparison, is an overview of the (slightly different) Russian patterns used: a b c d e f b' d' f' f''...

(The en.wiktionary Russian declension of медбра́т takes the "a" pattern, and is also annoyingly irregular... )

Your declination is absolutely correct.
