As you may be aware, Cumbria University is the education provider for the Paramedic Apprenticeship degree.
In response to feedback from learners and operational staff, Cumbria University and the EEAST Training & Education team have developed a new role which will better support both apprentice paramedics and those involved in their development.
In this new role, each Clinical Lecturer from Cumbria University will dedicate one day a month to supporting learners and operational staff in practice. This will be achieved through clinical ride outs, station visits, skills workshops, PEd workshops, PAD support sessions and online drop-in sessions.
Additionally, Clinical Lecturers will liaise with operational management, MST and LOM teams to ensure a cohesive, informed approach to the development of learners, both academically and clinically.
This is a fantastic opportunity for all staff to gain a better insight into the Paramedic Apprenticeship degree.
A member of the Cumbria team will be in contact shortly with proposed dates and locations of upcoming outreach events; however, should you wish to arrange a visit, please get in touch with one of the assigned lecturers below, or email Thomas.Bicknell@cumbria.ac.uk for more information.
