Over the last few months I have been invited to attend meetings at a local university, to provide feedback as an ex-patient (service user) into nursing training courses.

It’s a very positive thing that service users are being asked about their experience as a patient, what they would change if they could, and thoughts on what and how students are taught.

I am honoured to be a part of this, to feel that others may benefit either in their careers or by being looked after by someone who has been trained through this process.
​
I hope that this isn’t just a local thing, and that other universities are doing the same thing.

I was made very welcome today at the BACCN event "Pump and Perfusion" at Kings College London, Institute of Fetal Medicine.  My first trip to London in 3 years, and the biggest audience I have had for a talk - about 100 people.
