BSc (Hons) Paramedic Science students took part in an exercise organised by paramedic lecturers. The exercise took place on Dartmoor and enabled 3rd year students to develop their confidence in approaching a variety of simulated events that they might experience once they have graduated.
“The main objective of the event is for staff to pose difficult, but known, pre-hospital clinical situations and encourage teamwork, problem-solving and confidence from students as they work through these scenarios.” Sally Nitti lecturer and exercise leader.
Student feedback from the event.
“It honestly was the highlight of my 3 years at Plymouth uni. It was great to spend some time with my peers and lectures in a fun but challenging environment.”
“[I had] such an amazing time away, it came at such a crucial point of the degree where I needed that confidence boost and to push myself further and show areas that I can do well and areas that I need to focus on in these last few weeks of my degree.”
“I really enjoyed the Ex CC weekend and feel it was one of the highlights of the entire course”
“I had one of the best weekends of my life. I knew, being so far out of my comfort zone, that it would be challenging but I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.”
“ I learnt so so much not just clinically but about myself and how resilient I actually am.”
