Prime Warden Calls in on St George's Paramedic Simulation Centre
A group of Saddlers were privileged to join Caroline Neveu and the team at the St George's Hospital Paramedic Training Centre, to understand what students on the BSc in Paramedic Sciences learn during their three-year graduate programme.
Inside the Training Centre
The facility includes a skills lab, fully equipped ambulance boxes, simulated home environments, and an 'immersion room' with technology to recreate various clinical scenarios. City, University of London and St George's, University of London merged on 1 August 2024 and are now known as City St George's, University of London. The voluntary merger has enabled City St George's to become one of the largest higher education destinations for London students, and a powerful multi-faculty institution with a distinctive focus on professional education and research at the frontier of practice.
The Saddler's Company set up what was then known as the Northampton Institute in 1894, alongside the City of London Corporation, to provide for '...the industrial skill, general knowledge, health and wellbeing of young men and women'.
A Relationship Spanning Over a Century
The Company has continued to provide support for students at the University every year since it was established, and members are rightly proud of the close ongoing relationship that connects the Company's founding role in the Northampton Institute to the paramedic training now delivered at City St George's.
