I loved my placement at St Catherine’s and found the team to be so friendly and helpful. It was lovely to really feel like part of the team. It was an honour to see the kindness and care first hand shown by all staff. I didn’t know what to expect from the placement but actually I found the whole experience very positive and the hospice environment to be so friendly and warm. I wish I could have stayed longer!
