🎉 A huge congratulations to Arts University Plymouth Sixth Form photography students!

Their stunning images have won all four prizes in a competition to be displayed inside the brand-new Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) at Colin Campbell Court. The winning photos will be showcased in large format on the walls of the centre when it opens next year.

Students were presented with their awards by University Hospitals Plymouth and BAM Construction.

UHP’s Sharon Tucker said: “We’ve been so impressed by the standard of work and can’t wait to see it on display in the new CDC.”

Photography Course Leader Tobie Loates added: “I’m super proud of our students for smashing it. Such amazing talent on show.”

An estimated 51,000 NHS staff experience domestic abuse each year. It's crucial that we recognise domestic abuse as a major health threat, not just to patients, but our staff as well. Domestic abuse is a health issue. https://www.bitc.org.uk/toolkit/domestic-abuse-toolkit/

Domestic abuse doesn’t just happen at home; 75% of those affected are targeted at work by harassing phone calls, abusive partners arriving at the office unannounced & by physical assaults. We're working with staff to develop our policies so we improve our response

Helping others stay well this winter.
Remember that older neighbours, friends and family members may need extra help over the winter. Keep in touch with them, especially if they live alone.

Make sure they're stocked up with enough food supplies for a few days and if they do need to go out in the cold, encourage them to wear shoes with a good grip and a scarf around their mouth to protect them from the cold air.
