HEALTH and Social Care professionals from across Worcestershire were recognised for their outstanding contribution in mentoring students from the University of Worcester.
The University recently held its annual Health and Care Mentor Awards, celebrating those who support the University’s students whilst they are training in the workplace.
In all, 16 awards were presented to nurses, midwives, social workers, paramedics, occupational therapists, and expert mentors from a diverse array of professions within the sector that have supported the development of the next generation of practitioners by providing high quality student work placements.
Elizabeth Davies-Ward, head of the school of Allied Health and Community at the University of Worcester, said: “Everyone we have honoured with these awards has their own job to think about, their own unique set of challenges and responsibilities, and yet they have taken the time and care not only to provide placements and mentoring opportunities for the next generation, but to provide truly excellent placements backed up with compassion and support.
“When you consider the array of challenges facing staff in the health and care sector, we have every reason to be especially grateful for their efforts.”
