Male NHS staff member tending garden with elderly man

A day as a gardener

Your day begins at your local NHS hospital, with a 9am meeting to discuss today's duties with the other grounds staff.

Together, you decide to cut back a large tree near the entrance of the hospital, and you and a team mate are selected for the task. In the afternoon you're on general maintenance duty, making sure the grounds are neat and tidy.

At 4pm, you meet with the team again, and discuss plans for a new mini-garden which will be created near the rear of the hospital. Your horticultural training means you can suggest attractive and relaxing features for the garden, and help design a haven for patients and relatives. You finish at 5pm, ready to unwind after a busy day's work.
