The School of Health and Social Care has held its annual awards ceremony to celebrate the success of graduating students.
Students from each course were awarded prizes from local hospital trusts where they were on placement, course leaders and the Students鈥 Union.
Professor Gail Thomas, Dean of the School of Health &聽Social Care, said 鈥淚 think this evening is one of the high points of the year because it celebrates some of our incredibly successful students.
鈥淎ll of our students are successful, but these have gone the extra mile and have made a real difference to their peers, to the practitioners they work with, and the patients, clients and service users they work with. Well done to all of them!鈥
A keynote speech from Judith Chapman, Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy, opened the proceedings with a motivational address聽on how learning from the past helps with present challenges.
Presentations were then awarded to the students from all of the School鈥檚 undergraduate, postgraduate and post-registration courses.
