I’d be really grateful if lots of my hospital based colleagues could answer. Does your clinical area expect families to return to it after a loved ones death to collect either belongings or a death certificate? @NES_Bereavement Please retweet to spread. Thank you.

Due to rising material costs, our National 5 Metalwork qualification would benefit from financial sponsorship from a local company. This subject has a very high pass rate and provides a valuable practical engineering pathway for pupils. Please contact the school if you can help

If any local company is interested in supporting the national 5 metalwork qualification at the academy, please contact the school. You would have access to a number of excellent candidates for any vacancies!
