A Big Thank You from Sgoil a'Bhac

NHS Western Isles staff nurse Chrisanne Cunningham and Clinical Cardiac Physiologist Lynne Whitaker recently enjoyed a visit with pupils at Sgoil a’Bhac.

The pair were invited to Miss MacLeod’s Gaelic Medium Class, as pupils were asked if their parents would come and speak about their different jobs; and Chrisanne’s son Thomas invited his mum!

Chrisanne and Lynne spoke about the function of our hearts and lungs, how they work and how to look after them, which included taking the students through models of a heart and lungs, and also using the Echo machine to scan pupil’s arteries to have a little look at what goes on inside our bodies.

Both agreed it was a great visit and were impressed by the interest pupils showed in their work – and they were delighted to receive a special Thank You card, signed by everyone in the class.
