College of Paramedics student council elections
Abstract
As the College of Paramedics launches a new student council to ensure student involvement across all regions of Britain, candidates,
Throughout my experience as a student thus far, I have noticed areas that need addressing in the South West region. These include a lack of diversity, learning losses, and a need for opportunities to further develop our education.
Having felt the insurmountable pressure associated with education during the pandemic, I believe that issues relating to achievement gaps are grossly underdiscussed and lack adequate representation.
I have spoken out on issues relating to LGBTQ+ rights, advocating and leading an anti-bullying and awareness campaign, which was broadcast on ITV news. I have also written on mental health awareness and underprivileged groups within the paramedic sector and undergraduate education. By listening to student concerns, I hope to empower each individual's voice, regardless of ethnicity, religion, sexuality or gender. I have experienced homophobia within the ambulance service, from both patients and colleagues. I understand injustice and prejudice firsthand, and continually strive to represent individuals from the various groups that form our diverse society.
