University Hospital Southampton NHS FT (UHS) has set a gold-standard example by collaborating with local colleges to enhance #TLevel success. These partnerships focus on: ✅ Tailored Level 3 programmes: ensuring students develop the right skills and behaviours for healthcare roles. ✅ Community engagement: encouraging local residents to pursue careers in healthcare. ✅ Student selection: actively participating in the recruitment process to align students with the trust's values. ✅ Specialised training: offering sessions relevant to clinical practice, preparing students for placements in various healthcare settings. This initiative not only equips students with essential skills but also helps UHS meet future workforce needs by shaping potential employees. Hear more from UHS on their success 👇
