NHS Trust’s appeal for help in reuniting nursing certificates with their rightful owners
North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust is trying to reunite several lost nursing certificates with graduates of Hartlepool School of Nursing.
The homeless haul came to light recently when a box of certificates and badges were found during a cupboard clear-out at the University Hospital of North Tees. The certificates date as far back as 1956 and up to 1991.
Karen Sheard, Deputy Chief Nurse for the Trust (Diploma in Adult Nursing, 1995), said: “To be honest, we don’t know how these certificates and badges ended up in a cupboard in the hospital but we really want to give them back to their rightful owners. We assume that the students couldn’t attend a graduation ceremony and their certificates were put to one side, perhaps to be posted out at a later date.”
Karen continues: “Whatever the reason, it would be wonderful to reunite these badges and certificates with the people who earned them.”
