Girlguiding Nottinghamshire has been gifted some excellent children’s books for our Rainbows and Brownies. The book was written by Louise Kirk a lead nurse at Nottingham University Hospitals and her granddaughter Ella Sharpe.
“Ella’s Grandpa goes Hippity Hop” is a story about Ella not being sure what she would like to be when she grows up. After Grandpa’s accident, Ella meets lots of nurses in different roles, and is amazed at how many different types of nurses there are. As a result, Ella decides she’d like to be a nurse like Robin, who took good care of Grandpa.
The book was funded by NHS England and it is hoped that when parents/grandchildren/siblings read this book, it inspires young minds to think about nursing as a career.
The books are fully funded and will be distributed through our Division Commissioners. If you are willing and able to share any photos and thanks via Twitter / X that would be great using the following hashtags: #futurenurse #hippityhop and @NUHInstitute.
Many thanks
Jackie Brocklehurst NHS England / Leader at Burton Joyce Guides.
