Volunteer of the Year
Sam McNeff, Nursing (Child) BSc(Hons) Rep & Nursing Society Committee Member.

Society Event of the Year
OT Society logoCongratulations to the Occupational Therapy Society.

The committee arranged two placement check-in events for two different cohorts. They applied their own experiences to help create events that promoted community and support.

This event provided a space where students could support one another, share ideas and experiences. The committee identified that the start of placement can be a highly stressful and emotional time, so this event meant that the students were able to access some supportive and familiar faces.

The events were held via Zoom scheduled during the first week of the student’s placement. This event was arranged and scheduled specify at a time that society knew that their members needed supports and community.

Congratulations also to:

  • The Nursing Society, nominated for Society of the Year
