Carrie Calvin So it's time for me to do another blog post and this one is about all the things we have to look forward to...
It's that time in semester 2 where students are usually getting ready to sit exams and/or submit their final assignments of the academic year. I know that the third years are currently taking their OSCEs too. So for everyone that is waiting on grades or is due to sit assessments/submit assignments - good luck! I know that they usually come with a level of stress and anxiety about your grade; it's easier said than done, but once it's submitted please try and relax and forget about it until you receive your grades. Remember to give yourselves the credit you deserve for making it this far, and with a pandemic to contend with.
It's just 2 weeks until the SU Awards evening! Well done to everyone that has been nominated for an award, and thank you to those who nominated me. Whether you've been nominated for an award, win the award, or even if you haven't received a nomination - well done! Well done for taking a step at a time closer to your degree and career.
I hope that our 220 cohort, and all of the other students in practice, are enjoying their placements and learning lots!
I also want to say Welcome to our brand new 121 cohort that started recently. It was lovely to meet some of you in the session I hosted last week.
We recently held the Semester 2 Institute of Health Council meeting, so the minutes and actions of that will be released soon and the relevant follow up work will be completed to ensure that all feedback has been addressed.
Lastly, a little mention for our 218 students that are approaching qualification! You've made it so far with various challenges (even prior to the pandemic) and I'm so proud of each and every one of you. I can't wait to see you all in your blues very soon!
Carrie :)
