Proposed activities for 2016 – using the Whole Lifecycle Model
• Pre-entry Access Outreach and Capability: • Open day activities to include – Use of technicians and paramedics from Black and Asian backgrounds. ( paid for their time) • Developing DVD / U Tube video for use at 2016 Open Days / School and College outreach events. • Marketing flyers to reflect a multi-cultural staff and student group. • Delivering talks at community based events – e.g. Northampton / Leicester / – Black and Asian events. • Working with schools and colleges to promote the profession – outreach workshops at FE and Sixth Form Colleges. • Working with local schools / Ambulance trusts to develop / shadowing work experience – Summer work experience 1 week workshop • Web and flyers – dropped to Local Community groups – Black and Asian Community Centres. • Use of Face book page for paramedic science – with features on BME paramedics. • Transition into HE: • Offer interview to (up to 5 applicants per year) from BME groups who have the potential to succeed but lack the full entry tariff points for entry – using
a UON Compact Agreement with an FE College – (possibly Leicester )

A Compact programme – for Paramedic Higher education: for 13 – 16yrs olds attending school and 16-18 yr olds attending college.
• Working with BME students from a wide range of backgrounds to enable them to enter university and successfully gain employment in emergency care.
• We believe everyone should have an equal access to study in higher education and that it is important to equip students with the knowledge, skills and experience to help them succeed.
• The Compact programme will be designed to support students through activities, advice and impartial guidance, from secondary school age through to graduation and employment.
• We will offer a small bursary to Compact students who take part in the programme at the University – School of Health and upon successful completion of the programme – a chance to apply for Paramedic Science Education.
