I had wonderfully inspiring lecturers in Nursing Studies...they taught me how important the patient and family is in the care situation and this focus still underpins the work I do today

I was afforded many unique opportunities while at Edinburgh, many of which would not have been available to me had I not gone out of my way to develop relationships with the other students and the faculty.
Leaps in the Dark
Nursing graduates from the University of Edinburgh have become prominent academics, policy makers and innovative practitioners making a national and international impact. The alumni event ‘Leaps in the Dark’ on 4 November 2016 brings together this diverse group of nursing graduates in a mix of plenaries and workshops to document the ‘leaps’ taken by individuals and groups during each of the six decades of our history. There will also be a dedicated session at the Royal College of Nursing International Nursing Research Conference on 6-8 April 2016 for alumni to attend plus a session to be run by current students.
Visit the Leaps in the dark website for more information and to book.
