Natalie Cassidy: Caring Together

Natalie goes back to the classroom, inspired by caring for her dad. Nerves hit on day one, but her first on-the-job work placement has a real impact.

Natalie speaks to a friend about caring for a child with cancer, before joining community nursing in action - and faces her own fear, needles!

Natalie’s juggling college and family life, learning about teenage mental health, online pressures and autism - and how care reaches far beyond the classroom.

Natalie’s halfway through her college course and growing in confidence. On placement, she meets home carer Gary, who looks after his partner, Lisa.

Natalie discovers the power of caring volunteers, and how mind and body work together to help people recover and move forward.

Natalie experiences being older. Will it help in her placement in a care home for older residents?

Natalie experiences what’s it like to have dementia and puts her learning into practice on a very special placement.

As Natalie faces her final test, hospice care, reflection and a visit to Belfast show this journey may just be beginning.
