Yesterday was my third Wednesday in Peamount Healthcare.I started my day at 9:30 and the first job I did was photocopying and laminating sheets.I then learnt how to do a hand massage by one of the workers,and Lorna,Roisin and I had to practice doing these on each other.We were thaught how to do these incase we ever had to do a hand massage on a patient.
In the afternoon,I worked in the computer room.I had to type up a speech from one of Peamount's patients,it was a story she wrote herself and I really enjoyed listening to it and typing it up.
After lunch,I went to the music evening once again where I stayed beside two of the patients.They love the music and guitar and I am even coming familiar with the old songs now after a few weeks of listening to them!
I am looking forward to going back tomorrow :)

Week 2!
Yesterday was my second Wednesday at work experience in Peamount Healthcare.I did most of the same things as I did last week but I still really enjoyed it.
I started off the morning by meeting new people and I was introduced to my second supriviser.I then met new service users for the first time and I went to Liffey Valley and went shopping with one of Peamounts patients.I had a great time getting to know the patient I was with for the day.
After spending time shopping,we went back to Peamount had our lunch and then had a music evening.I stayed beside one of the service users talking to her and making sure she was ok.
I had a great day and have met lots of lovely new patients and workers in Peamount.I am looking forward to next week.

Work Experience Placement 2-Week 1
After spending a great 10 Wednesdays in a primary school for my first work experience placement,on Wednesday,I began my second work experience in Peamount Healthcare.
I was in Peamount at 9:30 where I was introduced to my 2 suprivisers for the eight Wednesdays I would be working in Peamount.I was brought to St.Kevins along with the two other girls doing work experience in Peamount and we were shown around the place and told about other Peamount Healtcare facilities.
On Wednesday we went to Liffey Valley with a few of the service users in Peamount.We travelled there on a bus where we were shown how to make sure they wheelchairs were properly secured while travelling on the bus.When we arrived I helped wheel the wheelchair around the shopping centre.
We then went back to Peamount where some of the sevice users were having a sing song my job was to stay beside the service users incase they needed anything.
I enjoyed my first day in Peamount and it was nice to meet the workers and service users of Peamount.I am looking forward to next week!
