Face to Face at LMC and RLI - A Partnership for the Future!

As part of the Leonardo Face to Face Partnership, LMC has teamed up with the Royal Lancaster Infirmary to share best practice in mentoring trainee carers and nurses in the UK leg of the project exchange. Funded by the LifeLong Learning Programme of the European Commission, the Project consortium is made up of representatives across the sector in Bulgaria, Sweden, Iceland, Holland and Italy. After a working session at LMC sharing possible barriers to students entering the caring and nursing professions the visitors enjoyed the sights of Lancaster and then a tour around the Royal Lancaster Infirmary. There was something for everything in the visit, but especially for the Italian delegation who work in the area of rehabilitiation.

LMC has partners in over 20 European Countries and is committed to developing new areas of knowledge exchange relating to Vocational Education for students and staff alike. LMC is working towards building sustainable partnerships locally and further afield to enhance the student experience and prepare them for the world of work or further studies.

Currently LMC are expanding the student exchange provision as part of its International Strategy with students being offered the unique chance to gain paid work experience as part of their course in countries such as; Lithuania, Iceland, Bulgaria, Poland, Czech Republic, Malta and Slovakia.

Exciting new partnerships are being tried and tested currently with future student exchanges likely in The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia and Germany. Watch this space... or visit http://www.lmc.ac.uk/ to find out more!
