Students offered prestigious work placements

Following a realistic interview process, nine students from the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care (Health care pathway) have been offered the amazing opportunity to spend their work placements at Southmead Hospital.

After creating a CV and covering letter, students underwent a panel interview followed by a practical observation in the state-of-the-art simulation room of our Health and Active Living Skills Centre.

Out of 30+ students, 9 were selected to received the prestigious placements at the Bristol-based hospital.

Health and Social Care FE Curriculum coordinator, Sarah-Jane Lewis, commented: "We're very pleased to be sending these brilliant young people on an outstanding placement thanks to our connections with Southmead Hospital.

"The selection process was not easy. All of our students should be extremely proud of themselves".

Congratulations to Chloe, Lucy, Beth, Jade, Nonna, Lara, Finley, Emily and Jordan. Scroll down to read more from some of the students!

My aim is to become an adult nurse within the A&E department and there is no better experience I could have before University! Southmead covers such a wide range of health care which means the variety of experience I'll gain will definitely help me reach my goal. I love helping people and can't wait to see my work helping people get better.

I'm working towards my dream job as a paramedic and I believe that this placement is the most beneficial experience available to me. I think the main skills needed for my course are resilience, patience and determination - All 3 of which I'll be applying to my work at Southmead.

I would love to get in to the emergency care industry as a critical care front line responder. I wanted this opportunity because of the great experiences that I could gain by working on the vast scale of wards at Southmead. My learning in the sim room at College has given me the much needed knowledge for this placement!

I wanted this placement to prove to myself I could achieve it as well as future reference for university and future employment. I'm really looking forward to the realistic experience of the healthcare sector. I'm really grateful for the knowledge I've gained in the sim ward as well as the support I've received from my tutor.
