Extra Nursing guidance from Zoe

Zoe Woolsey called in with ideal timing to give to this year's nursing degree applicants the benefit of her experience in the Ulster Hospital. Zoe was able to pass on tips about the selection procedure at Queens. Zoe graduated from Queens a couple of years ago with a first class honours degree. It's great that we can now call on successful OldScholars to advise our current students.

Really Cheered Me Up

It really cheered me up to met Paul Harpur, one of our founding students. He was on his way to meet his new client in the behaviour management scheme where he now works in Downpatrick. Paul was always one of our most cheerful and positive students, and I can think of nobody better to be supporting people through physical and behavioural challenges.
