Great to be back at the front of the classroom today... presenting the role of the HCA to college students considering a career in healthcare. Great crowd with lots of questions and aspirations. Hoping they'll be the next generation of the NHS 馃馃徎

Nursing is sometimes hard, but after an hour each with years 7, 8 and 9 this morning, I text my brother to tell him I totally underestimated how hard being a teacher is 馃槄 Was so great to talk about the role of a HCA today and hope we sparked some interest in an NHS Career 馃馃徎
