OUR TRUST’S latest intake of T Level students attended their induction at the end of September, as part of our T Level in health industry work placement programme.
The induction took part in the trust’s new state of the art Health and Social Care Academy at the University Hospital of Hartlepool, welcoming students from Hartlepool Sixth Form, Hartlepool College of Further Education and Stockton Riverside College.
Trust education leads introduced the students to the trust, took the time to orientate and go through what their coming year will look like, while also presenting the newly developed T Level handbook and sharing each individual’s upcoming placements with them.
Education lead Emma Davies said: “It was great to meet our latest intake of T Level health students and to continue to build upon the great partnership working with our local colleges.
“We also have additional placement areas on board this year, so we’re thrilled to be offering our students the chance to gain experience in some different areas including the emergency department, paediatrics, maternity and surgery.
“We’re also particularly excited that we will be building upon this success and welcoming our first cohort of T Level in business admin placements in January.”
The new students were joined by freedom to speak up guardian Jules Huggan and health and wellbeing advisor Helen Waller, who presented on how students can access wellbeing support and raise any issues they may have during the duration of their placements at the organisation.
Emma concluded: “A huge welcome to our new students and we wish you every success with your studies and placements this year.”
