Partnership working with local School

In November, we hosted students from Thurston Community College as part of their Health and Social Care course. They worked with members of the nursing, care and domestic teams to complete their unit on Infection Prevention and Control looking at how this is used in a real-life setting. The students’ particularly enjoyed practical activities including looking at the importance of hand washing in a nursing home. Feedback from the students about the day was extremely positive with huge compliments to the home, staff and residents. We are looking to replicate this experience with other schools and are proud to be inspiring a new generation to consider a career path in Health and Social Care!
