NHS Western Isles is a training centre for doctors, nurses, midwives and other healthcare staff, working with partners including Stirling University, NHS Education for Scotland and other universities.
To help them learn the skills they need, student nurses or midwives will carry out some aspects of your care under the supervision of a qualified nurse or midwife.
- Medical students accompany the doctor on ward rounds and may wish to examine you or talk to you about your medical condition.
- Other students, such as student radiographers, physiotherapists or occupational therapists, may accompany their qualified colleagues to the wards and assist with their duties.
The students appreciate your co-operation, but you are under no obligation to have them observing your care. If you do not wish to have students present, please tell a member of staff.
