00:00Thank you, Secretary.
00:02Can we speak?
00:03General Secretary.
00:41You're all right.
00:44You're all right.
00:47I'm going to go back to you.
00:50I'm going to back you up.
00:51You're okay.
00:52I'm going to tap her up at this point.
00:54Lovely to meet you.
00:56I never thought you'd think it was coming out of your mouth.
00:59I'm doing... I'm on my last sort of month with this,
01:02So I'm doing right placement at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn, and let it do it.
01:08Have you got a history in your family of people who have done this?
01:12I was the Chief Executive at My Home Care in Whistlebeach, and we foster children, so my mum's always worked in health and social care.
01:20So she's really sort of inspired me to come here, do this, and be a paramedic.
01:25But you hope to do the course, and then get into care?
01:30Yeah.
01:33Thank you very much, Cass.
01:37So would you all be here anyway, have you been dragged into the gossipy?
01:41We've spoken at night.
01:52You've learnt a lot from her.
01:55How do you know this is her?
01:57Two.
02:00Back on the chairs.
02:022, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
02:13Back on the chairs.
02:152, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
02:28I've got two brushes.
02:34Back on the chairs.
02:352, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
02:466, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
02:55Stop.
02:58There you go.
03:00There we go.
03:02Analyzing heart rhythm.
03:13Analyzing heart rhythm.
03:17No shock.
03:20Back on the chairs.
03:251, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
03:299, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
03:36How many?
03:38Back on the chairs.
03:44Let's be honest with each other.
03:46It's tiring, isn't it?
03:47It is.
03:52The most important thing is you must be analyzing whether that's what you need to do or whether it's something else.
03:59The good thing about these is they've got tablets and they've got a shock meter that we've got.
04:04And they're so good.
04:08Finished.
04:10But are you still doing your cadet?
04:12Some of us are still in cadet, some did it through school.
04:15So me and Evie did it through the Essex Army Cadets.
04:20The Army Cadets?
04:21Yes.
04:22Are you thinking of going?
04:23Yes, sir.
04:24When?
04:25Soon, probably around next year.
04:28So where would you go to do your position?
04:31I've got Katherine.
04:32Her writing training and then writing university to do nursing training or paramedic.
04:37So you're going to do it with the military unit?
04:40Yes, Army medics.
04:41But you want to be cadet?
04:42Yes, obviously.
04:43Are you going to do army medic?
04:44Not sure.
04:45Do you have a family?
04:46No.
04:47I'm the first one and I just saw cadets and I bought a stick.
04:50Really enjoyed it.
04:51Yes.
04:52It's a great experience.
04:53We bought it.
04:54That'll be me next year.
04:56I love you, Paul.
04:57I do.
04:58I do love you, Paul.
04:59The terrible thing is it's such a huge queue of people trying to get into the cadet services.
05:04I know.
05:05It is.
05:06Because they can't produce enough people.
05:07That's what you want.
05:09Yes.
05:10I'm very proud of doing this.
05:14Another expert.
05:15Another expert.
05:16Thank you very much.
05:17At least I haven't broken it, have I?
05:19No, definitely not.
05:21Right.
05:22So you're planning to move?
05:23Yes.
05:31This is the very eminent hierarchy of the Royal College of Nursing, I suspect.
05:38All the award ones, yeah.
05:40And the eminent cadets, yeah.
05:42Yes.
05:43I mean, the first thing you see all the training is how it goes.
05:48You're not doing it all the time.
05:50You forget.
05:51You need it.
05:52You need it.
05:53Yes.
05:54Do you have anything you're not doing?
05:58Yeah, we don't have anything going on.
06:01I know our department has sadly stopped their nurses.
06:04Many of us are testing to keep it open.
06:07So much for that.
06:09So I did first year in England, so I was the first graduate in England.
06:14And then I moved to Stardewick.
06:16I'm not sure I got that.
06:18No, it's a small modular assignment.
06:20So I had one segment in which you
06:23did the meditation.
06:25And then you began to do the exercise.
06:28So that's done in the...
06:30I hope you'll never have to do it again.
06:32It's the most stressful thing ever.
06:34Just a moment.
06:36Yes, I'm sure you can explain
06:38why it is costly.
06:40I'm not sure I got that.
06:42Oh, I'm sorry.
06:44Sorry, I lost the number.
07:14I'm glad you're okay, Sam.
07:16I know.
07:18I'm trying to save money.
07:20And I've just finished three years of
07:22professional training now.
07:24I'm just trying to create a career
07:26for the university.
07:28It's amazing.
07:30So we've got here our
07:32thousands of graduates.
07:34Would you like to give them a hug?
07:36You can, yes.
07:38Yes, and you're two as well.
07:40Yes.
07:42How did you end up?
07:44I know.
07:46He thought to give you a cup of tea.
07:48Oh, I see.
07:50Fantastic.
07:56That's about the culture stuff.
07:58Is it?
08:00So did you come to this through the
08:02Army Cadets?
08:04Yes.
08:06Were the Army Cadets at school?
08:08No, South Knight School.
08:10Yes.
08:12But you're still in the Army?
08:14Yes, sir.
08:16Have you applied?
08:18Not yet, sir.
08:20Because I want to be a doctor in the Army.
08:22So I need to get my medical degree first
08:24and then I'll join as an officer.
08:26It takes forever.
08:32So we want to just...
08:34You've got an old cape here,
08:36but underneath it is a plaque that we
08:38put up after you've been here.
08:40So I'm just going to hold this.
08:42There we are.
08:44APPLAUSE
09:02Is it a badge?
09:04A paperweight and a badge.
09:08But we've got something very personal
09:10here for you, sir.
09:12And that is a picture of your mother
09:14as a princess when she
09:16came to the College with all the
09:18nurses aligned when she came here
09:20in 1945.
09:26Beautiful.
09:28It's amazing.
09:30Yeah, of course.
09:34There we are.
09:36APPLAUSE
09:48Thank you so much for coming.
09:50It's been such an honour.
09:52We're delighted.
09:54LAUGHTER
10:00I do the short straw, sir.
10:02LAUGHTER
10:06Thank you so much.
10:08I'm very proud of you all. I do hope you have great success.
10:10We'll be relying on you more and more
10:12to keep everything going.
10:14Thank you. Thank you so much for coming.
10:16It's been an honour.
10:18Thank you so much.
