began with an assembly for year 10 at Lancaster High School. We chatted to some T Level learners at the FGH canteen and popped in to say thanks to some staff who regularly support our programmes and support the future workforce!

🎉 T Level Thursday | National Apprenticeship Week 2026 🎉

Happy ! We thought we would take this opportunity to let the students from Kendal College, Lancaster & Morecambe College and Furness College tell you about what they get up to on placement.

A huge thank you to all the staff at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, without you these amazing placement opportunities would not be possible!

The Virtual Recruitment Hub is a collaborative group that brings together partners across health, social care, education, and local authorities to improve recruitment efforts and strengthen workforce pipelines. Its purpose is to share good practice, identify joint opportunities, support engagement with hard‑to‑reach or vulnerable groups, and coordinate activity across organisations.

Take a look at these recent updates from some of the organisations involved:

Full Primary Care Pre‑Preceptorship Cohort Morecambe Bay Primary Care Training Hub

Great news for primary care in Morecambe Bay Area! 🌿

Morecambe Bay Primary Care Training Hub's May cohort of pre‑preceptorship nursing placements with the University of Cumbria is now fully filled.

These final‑year nursing students will:

💡 Complete their final placement in primary care
📚 Attend weekly education sessions (consultation skills, EMIS training, diabetic foot screening & more)
🚀 Enter the workforce with extra skills, confidence and readiness

This enhanced placement model gives new nurses a real head start as they prepare for careers in general practice — and it’s already proving popular across the region!

A big well‑done to everyone involved in supporting this innovative approach. 👏
