Students will receive access to University of Cumbria modern facilities including a simulated ambulance, a mock hospital ward and a mock patient residence. All equipment is based at the Lancaster campus and is geared up for a truly unique experience for paramedical science and the ‘real-life’ scenes that aid students' development as a professional. The major incident day gives students the opportunity of working with policing and forensic student’s to deal with a series of realistic crimes.
Students will have the unique opportunity of studying elements of traumatic jobs in the real world with actors and realistic scenarios to develop quick thinking and essential lifesaving skills.
They will spend time learning on campus alongside engaging and working with the ambulance service whilst on placement, allowing them to use their theoretical learning in practical scenarios.
