Bobby first started her journey at Lancaster & Morecambe College when she finished high school and found the College to be friendly and supportive. In 2017, Bobby came back to College to study our Health and Social Care Professionals Level 2 part time course which led her to progress onto our full time Access to HE Diploma in 2018 and is now a midwife for the NHS.
When asked what the best parts of the course were for her, Bobby said
I loved that the tutors were always there for me and helped guide me through my course. I found all the learning modules to be relevant and interesting.
The access course allowed her to expand her academic skills such as how to correctly reference and how to better structure her writing in preparation for University level studying. As well as developing her academic skills, Bobby also further improved her critical thinking skills which helps her whilst working in an often stressful, high-intensity environment such as the NHS.
When writing assignments for my university work, I would always remember what my tutor, Laura, had taught me. She would always say that to enhance the quality of my assignments I should ask myself ‘so what?’; using this I was able to produce my best work.
Since completing the Access course, Bobby attended University of Cumbria, developing the skills and knowledge that she learned during her time at College. After graduating with an impressive first class honors in Midwifery. Bobby currently works as a midwife for the NHS,
