Mon, 10 Mar 2014 10:00:00 GMT

The University of Huddersfield Nursing Society has been set up by three final year Nursing students in order to enable fellow students to meet and exchange ideas, ultimately make friends and keep in contact with other students in the various branches of nursing.

Andrew Roberts, Emma Brooks and Paul Buckingham, pictured, are all final year Nursing students at the University and together have set up a new society, The University of Huddersfield Nursing Society.

Open to all nursing and non-nursing students from all years within the University, both undergraduate and postgraduate, the society aims to bring people together and share their ideas amongst friends.

Society’s President, Andrew Roberts commented, “I found that after my first year of study, I was losing touch with the people who had gone into other branches of nursing and I wanted to set up a group that would enable us to exchange ideas with people we didn’t see every day at University”.

The society aims to bring together the various branches of nursing through:

  • Social Events
  • Professional Development Events
  • Charity and Fund-raising Activities
  • Advice and support tailored to the needs of Nursing students
  • Trip to Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Congress 2014 in Liverpool

You can contact the society via their Facebook page and become a member via the Students’ Union website for a membership fee of just £5 for the 2013/14 academic year.
