🏴󠁧󠁢󠁮󠁩󠁲󠁿 Yesterday, Tracy Nicholls, Chief Executive, and Mandy Powell, Policy & Public Affairs Manager, met with Mike Nesbitt, Minister for Health, Northern Ireland to discuss Paramedics in Northern Ireland and the role the profession can have in supporting plans to support the recovery of Health services aligning to his initiatives and vision for the future of health and social care across Northern Ireland. Tracy said “The Minister was very generous with his time and we covered a lot of ground on the opportunity for paramedics to contribute to the future of the recovery and transformation aligned to his vision.” ✍️ The meeting was part of our policy engagement work, which included meetings with our Paramedic Council Rep in Northern Ireland, Jacqueline O'Neill, the Chief Allied Health Professions Officer in Northern Ireland, Michelle Tennyson, and visits to Antrim and Ballymena Ambulance Stations. Thank you to everyone who turned up to share their experiences and to James and Damien for their expert facilitation. #ParamedicsUK

One of many work streams that the College is currently undertaking is the updating of the Interactive Paramedic Career Framework that was previously available on the College website 💻 As part of this work we would like to invite full members to assist and become involved by providing details of their current role and the path they have followed to date. We are looking for members in positions from all four pillars of the Paramedic Career Framework including... 💉Clinical Practice 🔬Research & Development 🎓Education 👤Leadership & Management If you don't see where you fit into the framework, we’d still like to hear from you as your experiences are just as valid! We recognise that the profession has developed quickly and the associated education has evolved 📈 It's therefore not surprising that many paramedics working across the various levels of the four pillars may not have the matching academic qualifications outlined by the College in the Career Framework. It is really important that we have current and contemporary case studies that reflect the real journeys and true roles** of our members. Submitted case studies will be reviewed and a selection used within the revised Digital Paramedic Career Framework. ** We are also keen to hear about unusual roles that may not be your primary work! If you think you may be interested, please complete the form here 👉 https://bit.ly/4cKWhzw and we'll be in touch! THE CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS THE 21st OF AUGUST For further information please e-mail: [email protected] For further information on how your data is stored and used, please read the CoP's Privacy Policy here: https://lnkd.in/e5FVvrrD #ParamedicCareer #ParamedicFramework #ClinicalPractice #ResearchAndDevelopment #ParamedicEducation

We are deeply saddened and concerned by the recent attacks against our communities across the UK over recent days. These mindless acts of violence and the discrimination they show have no place in our society. We recognise that many of you will have been affected, either by your role in attending the impact of such violence, or who may be feeling deeply anxious about how this manifests, both within your workplace, and personally. We would remind you that everyone has the right to feel safe at their place of work and we know that there is universal condemnation across all employers on this matter. It was only last week that we came together in sorrow as the tragedy unfolded in Southport and we are all disgusted by the behaviour that does nothing to honour the memory of those young and innocent children, for whom our thoughts remain with their families. We stand in solidarity with all those affected and reaffirm our commitment to fostering an inclusive and respectful environment for everyone. Our strength lies in our diversity, and it is crucial that we come together to support one another during these challenging times. We urge everyone to promote understanding, kindness, and unity, and to reject all forms of hatred and intolerance. We know that you are working at the sharp end of this violence and that you continue to maintain the utmost respect and professionalism when dealing with such behaviour, but we are all human and recognise the anxiety and concern that you may be feeling during this time. Please do report any incidents of hatred or racism that you may encounter, and know that confidential, independent emotional support can be reached at The Ambulance Staff Charity. We commend you, that you continue to provide an enormously valuable service to our communities – which are your communities too. We will work collectively to ensure that every individual, regardless of their background, feels safe and valued in our communities of practice. Please do look after one another – now, more than ever.

🚨 We will be hosting another learner listening event, on Tuesday 13th August from 19:45-21:00, to demonstrate our support of paramedic learners and our commitment to continue to improve the experiences of our learners in practice we have organised these listening events to enable paramedic learners to share experiences with us in a safe space. 👉 This free to attend session is exclusively for paramedic learners, please note that due to the nature of these events they will not be recorded.
