Thank you to Richard Cox from Ategi for talking to the pupils about his work, and explaining how important a multi-disciplinary approach is when working in Health and Social Care. Certainly something that they need to know for their qualification. pic.twitter.com/8Nj8GKub9j— Geraldine Doyle (CW) () February 25, 2026
