American visitors take a tour of Seel Street

Yesterday saw a group of students from Hope College, Michigan visit PSS as part of their two week visit to the UK. The group, made up of psychology social work and nursing students, are in the UK to research our health and social care services, in particular our mental health services. Hope College US has close links with Liverpool’s own Hope University, and it was through PSS Practice Educator Pam Foy that the visit was arranged.

The students were joined by our Hope University Inclusion group, and by members of our staff throughout the morning including Palliative Care, Family Impact and Shared Lives. Before heading off the group had a spot of lunch and took time out to celebrate the birthday of June from our Service User inclusion group with some cake.

The group are now off to London to take in the sights but we hope they’ll take ideas and innovations from our services back to their work and studies in the US.
