This last prac has been great for liaising with other health professionals. Because I have been working in all different areas-ICU/med/surg/CCU/theatre you are engaging with all kinds of people and its great to develop some sort of rapport with the people in your environment as it makes it SOOOO much easier to do your job and do it well!! I have really found it a pleasure to work with the people at Hollywood, everyone has been so friendly and works as a team, seeking input where needed.
It's so easy to go up to the ward, see your patients, write their notes and then be on your way again but taking a couple of extra minutes to ask someone something or pass on some info about a patient really does go a long way.
Another thing that I have come away with from this placement is what sort of supervisor I would like to be if I ever get a job and am ever entrusted with students!!!!! The ability to give your students autonomy whilst at the same time providing a learning and supportive enviroment and being approachable really is an art andI was fortunate enough to have a supervisor like that.
Ok, well that's enough waffle from me. CHeerio everyone :-)

I agree that communication is very important with the other health professionals as well as with our patients and supervisors. I know that sometimes I need to get over the idea that I find the consultants a little intimidating as I need to be able to speak to them daily on a professional level.
