Intervention 3

Intervention 3 has seen the development of a hybrid E-learning and face to face package for practice educators.

The main topics that are within this intervention were decided through stakeholder engagement groups that involved both current practice educators and NQP’s to highlight what they felt was important to be included. 


This intervention is due to be piloted over the next year within 5 ambulance trusts as a train the trainer model, this information will then be disseminated to all the practice educators to support them supporting students.

A huge thank you to all those that have given their time freely to this project over the last year, your expertise and commitment has been vital in achieving the developments of these three interventions.   

 

The College of Paramedics is the professional body for paramedics in the UK, leading the development of the profession across a wide range of health and care settings.  We aim to promote excellence in paramedic practice by offering and supporting professional development opportunities and lifelong learning wherever paramedics practise. 

The College offers local and national CPD events, plus online CPD via its own CPD hub and the e-Learning for Healthcare Paramedics e-Learning project.  We host the Diploma in Primary and Urgent Care, a professional examination for paramedics working in this field.  We have developed a Post Registration Career Framework for paramedics, a Digital Career Framework showcasing the work of paramedics across the spectrum of professional activities and led the work of the The Interprofessional CPD and Lifelong Learning UK Working Group to produce the strategic statement Principles for Continuing Professional Development and Lifelong Learning in Health and Social Care. Commissioned by Health Education England, we have undertaken a ‘Future Workforce Mental Health & Wellbeing Project’ in response to the ongoing psychological risks facing the profession, particularly those working in ambulance services.  

Professional development is what we do:  supporting individual paramedics and the profession as a whole to be the best we can be.  Follow the links to find out more.
