Keynote Speakers
- Vince Clark, Principal Lecturer in Paramedic Science, University of Hertfordshire - The Paramedic Practice Educator - The Most Important Person in the Room - The importance of the role of the Paramedic Practice Educator can sometimes be overlooked when developing educational pathways for paramedics. This presentation will seek to re-establish the Paramedic Practice Educator as being a vitally important and central feature in the paramedic learner’s educational development.
- Alexandra Ulrich, Senior Lecturer Paramedic Science, University of Hertfordshire, Advanced Paramedic Practitioner- Critical Care, London Ambulance Service NHS Trust - Replacing Placement with Simulation - a Product of the Pandemic - This session will cover the problem that was posed (loss of clinical placement due to the pandemic) and the solution (a fortnight of clinical simulations). We’ll discuss the planning, COVID considerations, staffing and equipment required for clinical simulation on this scale. Lastly, we’ll discuss the benefits for clinical practice.
