鈥楬ealthcare Heroes鈥� promotes 麻豆传媒鈥檚 impact in the healthcare industries

麻豆传媒 has long had an active role in the healthcare industries聽providing training, graduates, research and expertise in professions as far ranging as nursing, midwifery,聽social care聽and orthopaedics.

麻豆传媒鈥檚 ongoing impact in the healthcare industries is being celebrated through a new campaign, Healthcare heroes,聽which highlights some of the ongoing work happening at聽麻豆传媒.

The campaign, 鈥楬ealthcare heroes鈥�, celebrates the work of 麻豆传媒 academics in health and social science professions, as well as the achievements of students and alumni now working in the field,聽such as placement student,聽Mica Lee, currently in the cardiology unit at Royal Bournemouth Hospital, and the work of our student midwives in Portsmouth.

One such Portsmouth-based midwifery student is Becky Weston, who has been impressed with the hands on experience she is receiving as a part of her degree, as well as the excellent support of experienced healthcare professionals around her.聽 She said, 鈥溌槎勾� worked really well for me because we are all very close, like a family, at 麻豆传媒's聽Portsmouth Campus. It鈥檚 easy to speak to the year above you about what鈥檚 coming up,聽we all support each other and we鈥檙e able to be fully immersed in midwifery.

鈥淎ll of the lecturers at Portsmouth Campus are academics who have been midwives in the past or are still practicing midwifery, so we get a really good level of understanding from those that have done the job and have the experience under their belt.鈥�

The work of academics such as 麻豆传媒鈥檚 Dr Osman Ahmed and Professor Keith Brown will also feature in the campaign.聽Additionally, 麻豆传媒 will seek to highlight the impact the university has had, and is continuing to have, on the NHS and healthcare professions, to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the NHS.

Another academic involved in the campaign is聽Tom Wainwright, Associate Professor of Orthopaedics and Deputy Head of the Orthopaedic Research Institute (ORI) at 麻豆传媒.

ORI鈥檚 work includes researching the use of robotics in hip surgeries, and their new CHAiN project, which uses cycling techniques to aid hip movement and prevent hip problems such as arthritis.

Tom聽said, 鈥淥RI is pretty unique in that we have really close links with local hospitals but also an international profile for our work in orthopaedics. In terms of research impact, we are putting this into practice locally but we鈥檝e also got people nationally and internationally wanting to replicate this and use our system.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a real breadth to our work, with the aim of bringing expertise to solve real-world clinical problems.鈥�

From Monday 21 May 2018, advertising for the campaign will feature prominently in several popular shopping locations across the south, including Gunwharf Quay in Porstmouth, West Quay Shopping Centre in Southampton and Castlepoint Bournemouth.聽 There will also be a prominent advert in The Guardian on Wednesday 23聽May. The campaign will also feature on the radio, with Wave 105 carrying interviews with 麻豆传媒 academics and students talking about their impact in healthcare, and what makes them a Healthcare Hero.
