Where is everyone now?


So lots of things have been changing within the Student Subgroup of the SLDNN recently, this post will hopefully provide a little insight of where everyone is and what everyone is doing.

Firstly, as well as saying goodbye to a few members we have a few new members whose faces we will hopefully be seeing on our blog within the next little while.

As the years go by our members get closer and closer to qualifying!! So let's catch up on what year every one is in now and what their new role is within the Student Sub Group of the SLDNN

Julie Irvine- Is now a 2nd year student at Edinburgh Napier University and our now ENU chairperson!

Emma Fordie- Emma is now a second year at Edinburgh Napier University and is our voice in  the SLDNN Conference Subgroup.

Jack Souter- Jack is now a second year at Edinburgh Napier University and is now in charge of our SLDNN student subgroup blog.


Meet Emma the latest member of the SLDNN Student Subgroup!

Emma Fordie is currently a second year student studying at Edinburgh Napier University. 
She joined the student sub group towards the end of her first year of study, joining classmates Julie and Jack. 

Her first experience of the sub group was the 2016 SLDNN Conference and the enthusiasm shown by the current sub group members during their part in the day inspired her to get involved.
Prior to studying, Emma worked for the inpatient LD service within NHS Lothian where she enjoyed several years providing day services to individuals receiving care in the assessment and treatment units.
Going back to study, now with a family at home was a very scary thought for Emma, but she embraces the ability to broaden her skills and knowledge within Learning Disability nursing through both study and practice placements. Emma is very excited about a career in nursing and looking forward to the future!
