Year 13 Health & Social Care students from Ms Maguire’s class visited Avila Nursing Home recently as part of their module on Communication in Care Settings.

The purpose of the visit was to allow the students to interact with an older client group and demonstrate the essential skills of communication required in health and social care settings.

Each student actively engaged with the older residents in Avila, asking them questions and having general conversations.

This was a very enjoyable afternoon for all involved and the students are very grateful to Ms Lucy Holt and the management team of the Nursing Home for giving them permission to visit.
