Why did you choose to be Department Rep?

To be able to provide a connection and link between the management and my fellow colleagues as I have been a very responsible course rep and done my utmost for the communication from the student voice to the module and course leaders.

Paramedic Science

Why did you choose to be Department Rep?

I ran for rep to represent myself and address objectives that will benefit me and my fellow students. With my background in youth council, parliamentary representation, and NHS work, I aimed to increase student engagement, support paramedic and nursing societies, improve library resources, promote student voices, and enhance campus navigation. By pursuing these objectives, we can have a positive impact on our university experience and ensure that we make the most of our time at the university.

Is there anything you're hoping to achieve as part of your role?

As part of my role, there are several things I am hoping to achieve:
Enhancing student engagement: I want to create opportunities for students to actively participate in clinical practice and skills development, fostering a vibrant and interactive learning environment.
Supporting paramedic and nursing societies: I aim to provide the necessary resources and support for these societies to facilitate their members' continuous professional development and clinical skills.
Improving library resources: I want to work towards expanding the range of reference materials available, with a specific focus on paramedic skills, allowing students to access valuable resources for their education and research.
Amplifying student voices: It is important to me that every student feels empowered to express their opinions and concerns. I will work to establish platforms where students can have their voices heard and ensure that their needs are taken into account.
Enhancing campus navigation: I aim to develop a user-friendly digital map system that will make it easier for students to navigate the campus, saving them time and effort in finding their way around.
Overall, my goal is to contribute to a positive and fulfilling university experience for all students, leveraging my experience and commitment to represent their interests effectively.

I believe that representation of Students is vital, my life experience gives me the confidence and capability to be able to take Students issues forward. It is a role I have done before, It's challenging but within my skillset.

There doesn't seem to be any feedback from Students to the course leads/school and I wish to improve this and feedback to Students that when they have an issue it can be taken forwards. I would like to try and make the university experience of Health and Social Care students better. We seem to be pushed around from pillar to post with class rooms. We need a home we can call our own.
