Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Attending training classes, this has involved anatomy and physiology, pharmacokinetics, overall knowledge, key skills, practical skills, current protocols, policies. On the road this has enabled me to advance skills, to apply theoretical base to incidents and to work with clinicians having in depth conversations about current procedures, evidence based practice and decision making . This has also equipped me with HCPC standards of proficiency.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
This programme was very enjoyable, first year was very productive for knowledge , second year was developing the theory and comparing to incidents - second year i felt although highly assignment driven was the most productive. Third year was enjoyable but felt rushed a little, with extensive hours of Modules and practically working this can be heavy for the student particularly when they wish to excel however overall it has been enjoyable , well mixed with practical.
