NURSE ambassadors from Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust are linking up with local schools to encourage children and young people to think about a career in nursing.
Nurses from specialties across the trust have volunteered to go into schools to run information sessions.
Rebecca Bentley, the trust’s acting Head of Nursing, said: “Lots of people only think of nurses working in a hospital setting. Our aim is to let people know that nursing is so much more diverse than that; nurses can visit people in their homes, or work in schools and community settings, and can choose from a huge range of disciplines to specialise in, from looking after new mums and babies to end-of-life care. We hope that this project will show young people that there is diversity in nursing – and it’s not just for girls." Pictured are Vikki Carter, Practice Education Lead and Rebecca Bentley.
