We've recently staged a Welcome to 27 of our new nurse recruits starting September at CHFT.

They are currently 3rd Year university students from mainly Huddersfield Uni but also other universities from across the north.

They will be in post from September in medical, surgical and critical care wards right across the Trust. the idea of the welcome morning  - in the Boardroom at HRI - was to set them up in advance with uniforms and start their IT access so they can hit the ground running by the time they join us.

Nurse educator Vicky Sillitoe, said: " It was really exciting, really positive and we got some really excellent feedback. The idea is to stay in touch from now until they start with us to ensure they are as well supported as they can be."

Deputy Director of Nursing Lindsay Rudge,  Jackie Murphy, Michelle Bamforth and other colleagues all delivered presentations and to answer questions from our new recruits.
