In February 2020, during the final year of my nursing training at Napier University in Edinburgh, we were given the opportunity to arrange a four-week elective placement out with Lothian. This could take place anywhere in the world, however it had to be an approved placement, with the appropriate supervision and had to be arranged by ourselves. Ever since I began the course in 2017 I had been keen to undertake an elective in order to experience how another health board functions. I made the decision to organise my elective at Croydon University Hospital partly due to its proximity to my sister’s house where I planned to stay, but I also chose Croydon hospital for more academic reasons. It is a large hospital with many specialities and covers a multicultural population south of London. I chose to spend my placement on a joint Cardiology and Haematology ward.
