“The health ward facilities have been great, especially the maternity suite where there is a mannequin to practice delivering babies. Within the course, we’ve learned about person-centred care, safeguarding, and how to treat people with varying needs; this has greatly helped with my work placement, and we utilised these skills in our practical sessions at college.”
