West Yorkshire-based Czajka Care Group is celebrating its successful partnership with the University of Bradford’s School of Nursing.
Czajka Care Group has maintained a successful partnership with the university since 2007, and students have completed placements lasting between one and 12 weeks within Czajka Care Group’s nursing homes. The collaboration has provided vital first-hand experience for over 200 student nurses, paramedics, and occupational therapists over the past 18 years.
In recent years, the partnership has expanded to include placements for paramedics and occupational therapy students, further broadening the scope of professional learning opportunities available at Czajka Care Group.
Czajka Care Group’s training manager and deputy manager at Staveley Birkleas Nursing Home, Sam Birch, said: “We have been at the forefront of the region’s care industry for over 40 years. A key element of our success is our commitment to high-quality training and ongoing professional development. Our collaboration with the University of Bradford allows students to experience complex care in a community setting, away from hospitals. The enthusiasm and willingness to learn that students bring is inspiring, and our residents enjoy building relationships with them.”
Ela Mistry-Jackson from the University of Bradford’s School of Nursing commented: “This milestone celebrates almost 20 years of collaboration and a shared vision to train the healthcare professionals of tomorrow. We are delighted to have developed such a strong relationship with Czajka Care Group and long may it continue!”
