Canterbury Christ Church Paramedic Society are looking for sponsorship as they provide opportunities for individuals to learn from industry-leading professionals.
Canterbury Christ Church Paramedic Society – Our society is a Student Paramedic Society, for students run by students. It aims to provide access to subsidised CPD events, opportunities to learn from industry-leading professionals as well as through synergetic learning. Previous speakers have included the head of Resus UK and specialist Critical Care Paramedics. We try to provide students with social events throughout the year, so that they can get the best from their university experience. We work closely with our Student Union and are accessible to over 350 student paramedics. We also work with our wider community which with both universities combined is under 40,000 students.
Our student paramedics complete hours within the community towards their degree coursework currently. This means that as students and once qualified our students will treat and work within the local community of Kent (South East Coast Ambulance Service) and surrounding areas. Students are also offered jobs within other Ambulance services such as London Ambulance Service, West Midlands Ambulance Service or other private firms. Playing a vital part in healthcare within the South East!
Target Audience
Our target audience is for our students at University of Greenwich and Canterbury Christ Church University that study paramedic science only.
Key Dates and Timings
Our event is due to be held on the 31/05/2024 at the Rochester Corn Exchange in Kent. It will be an evening event. The sponsorship is required as soon as, to enable us to ensure our event can go ahead, and for us to be able to book and organise our packages.
Specific Opportunity Details
I just wanted to see if you would be interested in supporting us for an exciting opportunity.
I am currently second year student paramedic studying at Canterbury Christ Church University and I am part of a paramedic society at my university. Since covid the society was left to disband and this year we are trying to restart the society again, with support from another close university to us (University of Greenwich).
Our plan for the end of the year is to organise a celebration ball for all the students in our student paramedic community to celebrate their achievements. Covid impacted hugely on our teaching causing disruptions and a lot of students have missed out on commemorating their hard work and effort over the past few years. Our students volunteer within South East Coast Ambulance Service to gain vital hours of frontline experience to gain their qualification. The path to qualifying is difficult and not for everyone, many students have to put parts of their lives on hold during their learning. This is why it is so important to support our inclusive community and now joined with Greenwich we will be reaching a community of over 350 students. Whilst studying our degree’s we are trying to organise as we go. Once graduated our students filter into South East Coast Ambulance Service working within the local community along with other private firms.
In order for us to ensure our event is a success we are in need of sponsors to support us financially. I am looking for local or national businesses who would be willing to support our students. We have various packages which I am happy to discuss further with you.
