NHS Fife and Fife College agree new partnership for collaboration

NHS Fife and Fife College have agreed an exciting new partnership intended to improve education and training opportunities for people in Fife and enable much greater collaboration between the two institutions.
The agreement aims to provide a platform for collaborative working across a range of initiatives, including healthcare education available for current and prospective students, as well as healthcare staff.
Both institutions will also work in partnership across a range of other areas, including environmental sustainability and the mutual use of buildings and facilities.
One of the early projects being progressed through the new partnership will see Fife College and NHS Fife work collectively to improve learning opportunities for young people living in some of the Kingdom’s most deprived areas.
Another area of particular focus will be the creation of employment and training initiatives for students, both during and after their studies. This will include the development of work placements, internships, and modern apprenticeships to help widen participation and enhance the local employment opportunities available to people in Fife.
