Project SEARCH East London-Whipps Cross Hospital

It was an honour and a privilege to host guests from the House of Lords yesterday. Thank you to the partnership for all the amazing support and making the DFN project SEARCH program at Whipps Cross the success it is. @WFCTweets @shanedegaris @trissnrnurse @amanjit

🟠Today the @LordsPublicSCom released its report on the transition from education to work for young disabled people We gave evidence & hosted committee members at @ProjectSEARCHEL in Jan 3 of the top 10 recommendations relate to increasing supported internships provision!

Just over halfway through the first rotation and interns continue to contribute in all areas of the hospital. Everyone is progressing really well and we are getting lots of great feedback from managers and mentors. Well done everyone!

Working on our Health and safety PowerPoints and starting to refine our C.V writing skills. Amazing work ethic from all interns this week.

Sister Sonia came by the the Project Search Baseroom to give the interns a session on supplements and how/why we use them in the hospital. Lots of the interns were brave enough to try some of the supplements. Thank you Sister Sonia.

The hard work continues... Fantastic manual handling training delivered by Liz and Pervaiz. Teaching us how to keep ourselves and others safe in the hospital while we work.

Yesterday interns got to visit the fantastic Hyperbaric unit and had an interesting tour of the department. In the afternoon we had a visit from Ray and Katie, who told us about their roles as P.a's in the hospital and discussed a possible placement with them.

Fantastic visit from Tariq to the interns at St Bartholomew's Project Search site. Looking forward to more activities and visits next week. @vivmonk @creigh_j

Induction continues at Project Search at Whipps Cross Hospital with more excellent and thought provoking sessions. Thank you to Jonathan, Nina & Bilsy, Hanan and Sarah & Lynda.

Today we had the pleasure of a visit from Lee and Simba. They discussed the importance of Health & Safety and Fire Safety this morning. Brilliant and informative session.

A wonderful start for the DFN Project Search interns. Thanks to Beverly, Dr Veronica and Wade for welcoming them into Barts Health.

As the program draws to a close, the team and interns would like to thank the amazing support we have received from all our fantastic colleagues across WXH over this year. @amanjit @dfnsearch @WhitefieldSchl @FlourishTrust @GenerateOpps @mcspud_pitt @beverleyvw04 @NHSBartsHealth
