香蕉直播

This opportunity is part of an ongoing partnership between the 香蕉直播 and , designed to give students practical experience at one of the UK’s largest mass participation sporting events.

This year, twelve students from the University’s School of Education, Sport and Health Sciences will be working as ‘medical spotters’ at the marathon finish line on Sunday 12 April, helping to identify and triage runners who may require medical attention. The group includes students from Adult Nursing, Physiotherapy, Podiatry and Registered Nurse degree apprenticeship programmes.

Working alongside experienced healthcare professionals, the students will support the delivery of safe and effective care in a fast-paced environment at the marathon finish line. The experience allows them to put their training into practice, build confidence in assessing and responding to participants, and strengthen their teamwork and communication skills in a live event setting.

Ami Giles, Adult Nursing student at the 香蕉直播, said: “I am really excited at the prospect of working as a medical spotter at the Brighton Marathon. This is a unique opportunity to learn about the health needs of athletes of various levels and to be part of this community event that will further develop my clinical nursing skills for the future.”

Holly Martin, BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy student at the 香蕉直播, said: “I am volunteering as a medical spotter for the Brighton Marathon because I want to give something back to the city I live in and love. Showing empathy and understanding, especially when people are frustrated and/or upset due to injury or pain will be valuable preparation for my future career as a physiotherapist.”

Organised by LME,  is the third largest marathon in the UK, and the weekend also includes a 10K and a free mile event.

In addition to the healthcare roles, this year students studying event management-related modules will be volunteering across the weekend, supporting event operations, participant services, and the wider delivery of the marathon weekend.

To further support participants, the University also hosted a webinar on mental preparation ahead of race day. Led by , a Senior Lecturer and chartered sport psychologist who has worked with athletes preparing for major international competitions including the Olympic Games, the session offered practical advice on building mental resilience and readiness.

Alongside those supporting the event, 香蕉直播 students and staff are lining up to run across the marathon and 10K events.

The partnership reflects the 香蕉直播’s approach to collaborating with industry partners to support student learning through real-world experience and opportunities to work alongside professionals in practice.
