On Tues 19 May 26 our Health and Social Care students took part in a hands on skills activity where they were actively involved in CPR, Communication, Vital Signs, Vitals with Arnold and Loss and Grief sessions - the stations were facilitated by our HNC Healthcare Practice students who were able to demonstrate what they had learnt on their course and their practical placement activity. The event culminated in all levels working together in a care planning task.
This end of year cascading learning and sharing best practice between all our students (Level 7 HNC to our Level 6 Further Education) showcased the study paths and opportunities available within Health and Social Care at UHI Moray

Our students massively enjoyed the session and provided the following feedback:
+ Liked hands on experience

+ Great incite to future skill sets needed and expectations
+ Facilitators were excellent!!
+ A variety of different skills
