The Power of Collaboration


Collaboration is the cornerstone of progress, and our partnership with Edge Hill University exemplifies this principle. By joining forces, we are creating a platform for shared learning and growth, where students can gain practical experience under the guidance of seasoned professionals, and our teams, in turn, benefit from the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that these young minds bring to the table.


Empowering Students: Real-world Learning


Classroom education lays the foundation for any profession, but practical exposure is what moulds competent professionals. Nursing and social work students participating in placements at Turner get hands-on experience in dealing with real-life challenges, complex situations, and diverse patient needs. This immersive learning experience equips them with the necessary skills and confidence to handle the demands of their future careers.


Inspiring Excellence: Raising the Bar


Working alongside the universities allows us to align our practices with the latest industry standards and best practices in healthcare and social work. We stay informed about cutting-edge research, innovative techniques, and evolving methodologies, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement within our organization. This not only benefits the students but also our residents’ care, as we strive to provide top-notch services.


Creating a Positive Impact: Transforming Lives


Our residents are at the heart of everything we do, and the collaboration with Edge Hill University enables us to enhance the quality of care we offer. The presence of dedicated students injects fresh energy and compassion into our teams, leading to more personalized care and improved overall well-being for our residents. This intergenerational interaction also fosters meaningful connections, bringing joy and fulfillment to both students and residents.


Building a Sustainable Workforce


As we invest in the education and training of nursing and social work students, we are actively contributing to building a robust and skilled workforce for the future. By nurturing the talents of these young professionals, we are ensuring a seamless transition from education to employment and addressing the pressing need for well-trained healthcare workers and social service professionals in our communities.


Shaping the future


The partnership between Turner and Edge Hill University is a testament to the power of collaboration in shaping the future of healthcare and social work. By providing nursing and social work placements, we create a win-win situation for students, our teams, and, most importantly, our cherished residents. The invaluable learning experience gained by students, combined with the transformation they bring to the lives of our residents, reinforces our commitment to excellence and compassion in care.


We are thrilled to be a part of nurturing the workforce of the future and look forward to continuing this impactful partnership with Edge Hill University for many more years to come. Together, we strive to create a brighter and healthier future for all.
