Thank you Eric & Louise for such an important session with our students! Your support to our programme is invaluable. @PatienceUdonsi @UoS_HealthSoc
Eric and Louise have been teaching first year learning disability nursing and social work students about communication at @SalfordUni today. It was good to see many of the people we interviewed for the course again.

🎓 It is hard not to celebrate with someone as energetic and positive as Michelle Singh, who has overcome unbelievable challenges during her degree at Salford...

Very good new research from @CiaranMMMurphy et al - Findings include that when newly qualified social workers described being "ill-prepared" they tended to refer to workforce pressures, rather than direct working, theory, assessments etc ("well-prepared").
