INTRODUCTION.<br />
Welcome to ward 8. We hope you enjoy you placement with us here at the<br />
Freeman Hospital. We look forward to sharing and facilitating your <strong>learning</strong><br />
experience with us and welcome you as a fresh and vital part <strong>of</strong> our team. We<br />
understand and remember what it is like to come to a new and unfamiliar<br />
environment and all the pressure that entails. We have therefore developed<br />
this information document to help you achieve the requirements and<br />
expectations set by the university.<br />
This document contains essential information about the ward, an induction<br />
checklist and a <strong>pr<strong>of</strong>ile</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>learning</strong> opportunities. In addition we have made<br />
suggestions for possible visits to enhance your time in this <strong>learning</strong> zone. It<br />
allows you to establish dates for initial, intermediate and final interviews in<br />
advance, whilst establishing key points <strong>of</strong> your <strong>learning</strong> contract with your<br />
mentor. Using this document along with one <strong>of</strong> our year specific competency<br />
booklets, we hope to provide a useful framework for your time here in order to<br />
fulfil your <strong>learning</strong> experience The Education Resource box (black box) is also<br />
a valuable resource for you to use.<br />
Here on ward 8 we appreciate that <strong>learning</strong> is a multi-directional process and<br />
we welcome this concept. Please share with us anything that you find<br />
particularly useful or any resources that may be <strong>of</strong> benefit to other students in<br />
the future and to us on the ward. We welcome your contributions, suggestions<br />
and evaluations. If you have any particular worries please discus these with<br />
your mentors, ward managers or any member <strong>of</strong> our team.<br />
Finally, we hope that you have an enjoyable and productive experience with<br />
us as part to our team, dedicated to providing outstanding patient care.<br />

YOUR MENTOR<br />
WARD EIGHT INFORMATION.<br />
On arrival to the ward, you will be introduced to your mentor who will be<br />
responsible for you during your allocation. Your mentor will show you around<br />
the ward and ensure you are familiar with nurse call system fire and cardiac<br />
arrest procedures. It may not always be possible to work with your mentor, but<br />
this will give you the opportunity to experience different approaches to care.<br />
ORGANISATION OF THE WARD<br />
