Inside ParaSoc at Surrey
Joining a society is a fantastic way of making new friends, expanding your network and enriching your Surrey experience. We got some insider info on what the Paramedic Society gets up to and why it’s a great idea to join.
What is the Paramedic Society all about?
The society aims to bring all three years of Paramedic Science students together, alongside anyone else who wishes to join. We want to create a family feel where everyone has someone to turn to for help, advice and friendship. We also aim to aid our members’ educational journey with continuing professional development (CPD) events.
We’re a friendly, inclusive society who love to have fun and meet new people!
Why should students join ParaSoc?
Firstly, we’re a friendly, inclusive society who love to have fun and meet new people! Secondly our CPD events are well received and we listen to our members’ views and organise CPD that complements their course and covers specific areas of interest, both for now and beyond university.
The best thing about being involved in ParaSoc is getting to meet new students, listen to them and hear what they would like to see from the society, and getting to meet new people and gain friendships that will last a long time.Mel, Paramedic Science BSc
What’s the most interesting or exciting event that ParaSoc has been involved in recently?
I think our last CPD session was one of the best yet, with a great turn out of students not only studying Paramedic Science but from other disciplines too, such as the different nursing courses. We are currently organising the ParaSoc Summer Ball and this is set to be the best event of the year!
