Healthcare Student Education
Welcome to Sherwood Forest Hospitals.
My name is Nic and I am Practice Learning Lead for Sherwood Forest Hospitals, I work with Roe who is Practice Learning Midwife, and we are supported by Karen who is our administrator.
Together we form the Practice Learning Team at SFHFT which means we deal with all things related to the practical element of healthcare student learning experiences – from audits and allocations to student education sessions and staff training.
This site is for any healthcare student to access and make use of. Please find below the timetable for the education and support programme we run here, any student can access these sessions.
Please note, you can now book onto a clinical skills session by emailing the Practice Learning team at sfh-tr.practicelearning@nhs.net. Session are limited to 15 participants, so be quick to secure your place. We will let you know if you have been successful.
If they run while you are on placement you can still attend as these sessions can count towards your hours.
Please do give us feedback on them and let us know if you would like to see any other sessions included.
Look forward to meeting you!
Thanks
Nic, Roe and Karen
