In the morning section we all discussed about our experiences in the recent completed placement .

what we learnt and achieved from the placement as well as the negative parts . It was a missed reaction from all individuals. We also were glad we achieved our goals and got signed off by our individual Assessors.

We went further to discuss about the statistics monitored which includes Mortality ,mobility, life expectations at birth, adjusted life expectancy and casual factions like smoking.
