Title of learning activity: Health and wellbeing – Long term conditions
Diary of Learning activity:
During today’s session we spent time with Paulette in the morning and with Colin in the afternoon. The session with Paulette was about sexual health. The session was run by an external lecturer, Kim, she’s a sexual health nurse in Brighton. The session was very interesting because gave us the opportunity to share our experience. I though was a very good session that stressed the importance of sexual screening and gave us a deeper understanding of the issue related to sexual health within the community. The afternoon session we spent time with Colin. Was nice to spend time with him because as always was very supportive and offered his help for our assignment. The topic discussed with him was part of Scott’s module. Using different example, we discussed how living with long term conditions can be challenging. Overall was another great day spent in a good learning environment and I enjoy sharing experiences with my colleagues.
