... until we take our Level Zero Biomedical Scientists & Psychologists to Beamish for the first day of their Induction Week. The weather forecast is looking mostly hopeful, so fingers crossed it stays dry. Our design department have done a fantastic cover for the staff booklets (see over on the right hand side). There are four different sorts: one for the College staff that have everything in and three different ones for Beamish's staff at the three locations, so they have the information to hand if our students ask any unexpected or tricky questions.
In the Resource Centre, our students will be attempting to identify a series of gruesome medical instruments from the 19th Century as well as being introduced to the museum's work in preservation & conservation. In Beamish Town, they will be looking for applications of chemistry in every day life and at Pockerley Manor they will be looking into home remedies and why they're not always a good thing.
Here's keeping our fingers crossed that the sun shines!
