The Ambassadors

The class room can be scary places, especially for the uninitiated. What is the best way to communicate to kids? What are the simple mistakes that everyone makes? How do you keep everyone interested?

Ambassadors are professionals who work in the NHS and give up their time to speak to children and young adults about their experiences. NHS London wanted to convey to prospective Ambassadors some of the pitfalls of working in what can be a challenging environment. The "Ambassadors" play was the result.

The "Ambassadors" gave four examples of the classroom environment and four styles of approach to those environments. The audience then discussed the different examples, and chose the style which they thought would work best in the real world.

 

Nelly’s Secret

14 - 19 Partnership Logo, The 14 - 19 commissioned Nelly's SecretAfter an operation Nelly Corrigan finds herself living in Little Giddings care home with some pretty strange and not quite professional carers.

"Nelly’s Secret" was designed in conjunction with, and to help, teachers of Health and Social Care in Schools and colleges, and was commissioned as a pilot for the new 14-19 Health and Social Care diploma. The play explores confidentiality, the importance of patient centred care, respect of the elderly and the doctor patient relationship.

The play has an open ending, and using a structured workshop the students are encouraged to complete the story, and find an ending for the play.
