National Finalists for Department of Health and Social Care Patient Safety Award

A joint venture between the University of Teesside’s School of Health & Social Care, University Hospital of North Tees, University of Newcastle and CETL4HealthNorthEast was one of four finalists for a national Department of Health and Social Care Patient Safety Award.

The Open Day is free and open to all members of the public, with parents, careers teachers and advisers welcome to attend, as well as potential students.

Staff will be able to discuss study options, provide subject-specific lectures and tours of the campus are being organised throughout the afternoon. There will also be talks on student funding, careers and accommodation. Visitors will also be able to experience a range of 3D images in the University’s Virtual Reality Centre.

An earlier Open Day on Wednesday 13 September was affected by the fuel crisis, and if people were unable to attend then, they will be more than welcome at the October Open Day.

Pat White, Schools and Colleges Liaison Manager, said: “The University Open Day is an ideal opportunity to look around the campus, speak to staff and students from subject areas and generally get a feel of life at a modern university. We feel that the Open Day is a crucial part of the information cycle for anyone considering higher education, and recognise that students and their parents need to be reassured that the choices they are making are the right ones for them.”
