The biggest challenge we all face is some of the
prevailing attitudes and culture of our experienced
nurses from generation BB/X. While students and NQN
report very good support and experience students also
report
‒Entrenched attitudes from some staff – “well this is the
NHS get used to it”
‒A lack of interest in the student experience
‒Not providing enough time for feedback and not
making students feel part of the team
‒Many of these criticisms are the same for NQNs

Health Excellence Centres are supported by the National
Skills Academy for Health and are designed to bring
together employers from the NHS, independent and
voluntary sectors to coordinate and implement high quality
skills programmes for support workers.
South Yorkshire regional excellence centre is already
embedded in our Accountable Care system and looking to
capitalise on opportunities for support staff across our
region
What is an excellence centre?
The Only Game in Town is....
....keeping people safe, living independently at
home or as close to it as possible, for as long
as possible
