12 Back Queen’s Park This Green Flag Park came about after the wealthy local merchant Martin J. Newhouse died in 1873. He didn’t make a will so his estate went to Queen Victoria, who donated it back to Heywood. With those funds, the town built a dignified park for its residents, on the ground sloping down to the River Roch. Queen’s Park has held onto its Victorian layout and monuments like the Lodge House and Victoria Fountain. Awaiting you here is a riverside path, a lake, a visitor centre, a cafe, play areas for little ones, formal flowerbeds, bowling greens and spaces reserved for wetlands and wildlife. The visitor centre puts on a small exhibition about the history of the park, while the lake’s island is inhabited by a large flock of herons. Previous Next

Placements What are placements? Back to list Placements form a valuable part of their learning experience. It enables students to gain real-life skills and knowledge that will support their course objectives and career development. Placements vary in length depending on individual course requirements. HMRPCA works in partnership with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the region and Greater Manchester Training Hub to support student placements across a range of courses. As well as looking at innovative ways to promote primary care as a career destination What are place-based tariffs/placement tariffs? Some student placements that are hosted by a GP Practice, or other community-based organisation, comes with a placement tariff. The hosting organisation is known as the placement provider. The tariff is a payment of money that is paid to the placement provider. It is set by NHSE to acknowledge the staff time taken to supervise and train the student. Currently, this can take over 12 months to be paid to placement providers. Become a learning environment? HMRPCA would like to encourage all GP Practices and social care homes in Heywood, Middleton & Rochdale to consider offering a student placement. We feel the local areas offer excellent examples of primary and community care provision. Offering a placement encourages students to remain in the county after graduation.
