200 new nurses join local NHS hospitals and services
Almost 200 student nurses have been welcomed at the Trust that runs Broomfield Hospital.
Mid and South Essex NHS Hospitals Trust released news of the new starters today (Wednesday, 20 January) ahead of them beginning their work placements in March at Broomfield, Basildon and Southend hospitals.
It's one of the largest ever number of student nurses from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) to be starting at the Trust. Students will be based within the three hospitals and in the community, too.
The new influx of student nurses started their studies at the university in September last year.
Liz Summers, professional and commissioned education lead at Basildon & Thurrock Hospital, said: "The increase in numbers is partly due to a national campaign to help encourage people to study to become a nurse, so it's wonderful to see so many joining us this year.
"These students are training to be our nurses of the future, and at induction we reassure them we are here to support them throughout their studies and will be looking to recruit many of them in the final year of their degree."
When they start placements at the end of March, the students will be working alongside dedicated nursing staff from a variety of paediatric and adult care teams across the Trust.
