Lastly they got to experience how dementia affects the brain with the Occupational Therapists and learn the role of the Therapeutic Radiographer using the virtual learning environment. Many lecturers took the opportunity to bring their own children into the University to see what they do at work.<\/p>\n<p>Jo McNamara, Senior Lecturer in Radiotherapy and Oncology at Sheffield Hallam, said: \u201cWe\u2019re really passionate about motivating and inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals and this event is about reigniting people\u2019s passion for a career in healthcare. The girl guides and scouts have core values that are similar to those we look for in applicants to our health courses, such as caring, inclusivity, passion and compassion. We want to educate future allied health professionals, nurses and social workers about the skills they need, as well as showcase the fun ways in which we train the future NHS workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1609 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/ahphub\/files\/2018\/03\/collage-1024x476.jpg?resize=700%2C325&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"325\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Over 100 girl guides, scouts, leaders and parents came to Sheffield Hallam University on Thursday to take part in a Skills Lab event, designed and run by academics and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2258,"featured_media":1702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[21],"tags":[421,522,527,526,525,523,524,429],"class_list":["post-1698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-department-of-allied-health-professions","tag-girl-guides","tag-jo-mcnamara","tag-occupational-therapists","tag-operating-department-practitioners","tag-scouts","tag-skills-lab","tag-therapeutic-radiographer"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/hwbstaffnews\/files\/2018\/03\/Skills-lab-event-gallery.jpg?fit=1028%2C624&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8KEAX-ro","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2822,"url":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/hwbstaffnews\/2018\/11\/23\/celebrating-the-first-graduates-with-an-operating-department-practice-degree\/","url_meta":{"origin":1698,"position":0},"title":"Celebrating the first graduates with an Operating Department Practice degree","author":"Sarah Briscoe","date":"November 23, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"The first cohort of students to qualify with a degree in Operating Department Practice (ODP) have graduated from the faculty.
