Scott Medical and Healthcare College

Tegenn, a 3rd year Paramedic Science student at the University of Plymouth who studied the BTEC pathway, shared her experiences, challenges, and triumphs with the eager minds at Scott College. The impact of Tegenn's visit went beyond academic discussions. A poignant moment arose when a year 9 student asked about strokes, seeking advice on supporting a family member who recently experienced one. Tegenn not only explained the signs and symptoms but also went the extra mile by providing a demonstration on how to recognise these signs and offer immediate support until professional help arrives. The return of former students to share their success stories contributes significantly to the positive and supportive community at Scott College. The willingness of Tegenn to invest time and effort in guiding the next generation reflects a commitment to nurturing future healthcare professionals. In the spirit of mentorship and community, Tegenn's visit to Scott College proved to be an enlightening and inspiring experience for current students. Their journey from sixth form to specialised healthcare fields, coupled with real-world insights and practical advice, adds a layer of authenticity to the academic choices students are currently making. As Scott College continues to shape the leaders of tomorrow, the impact of such visits from successful alumni reverberates through the halls, creating a legacy of inspiration and mentorship.
