Primecare has worked with Staffordshire University to deliver a new bespoke University Learning Award. The Award is the first of its kind in the UK and comprises four modules to keep the Primecare forensic team at the top of their profession.
The first module on forensic awareness concluded with a 2 day workshop in the University’s Crime Scene House where Primecare staff worked through Crime Scenes – one involving a murder - in order to consolidate their learning on aspects of forensic science from the Crime Scene to the Courtroom.
