I recently visited @NEAmbulance and saw first-hand how some of our new apprentice paramedics are being trained. The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan aims to triple the number of apprentices we train, so that by 2030 apprentices will account for more than one in five new recruits.
I saw a demonstration of a trauma scenario in their simulation suite — a training setting to help prepare for real life experiences out on the road. Dragos, a paramedic apprentice, told me how much he has learnt and how excited he is to help people when they need it most.
@AmandaPritchard @NEAmbulance Fantastic! We are also committed to training more apprentices-it could be win-win. Thrilled to have our first 3 MSWs newly on the midwifery degree apprenticeship 🚀 But levy funding restrictions are extremely prohibitive (trusts must fund backfill). Please can @NHSEngland help?!
@AmandaPritchard @NEAmbulance 😂😂 you seen nothing accept a big camera and a big pay check
