Your Induction

The first week of your programme is designed to prepare and informyou about the University and the North West Ambulance Service.This information is an invaluable asset to your development throughoutthe programme.

Dependant on which group you are in (Direct Entry or NWAS Conversionstudent), your induction timetable will vary in overall content in relationto practice specific aspects. However, the University induction elementswill be consistent across all new cohorts.

As a new student you will be given the opportunity to attend The FreshersFair at the Ormskirk Campus during the first week of induction on:

All other elements of your induction will take place at ArmstrongHouse in Manchester and a timetable will be issued to you on the firstday of the programme.

As a student on a professional programme, you are a co-producer ofyour achievements and future academic and professional success.It is therefore vitally important that any issues that may affect yourstudy/learning are highlighted to your personal tutor at an early stage,so that an appropriate resolution can be sought.

I am sure that you will enjoy your induction programme and your timespent as a student at Edge Hill University.
