Congratulations to alumna Róisín McKeon-Carter who has become the first ANNP (Advanced Neonatal Practitioner) student to win a leadership scholarship from The Florence Nightingale Foundation.  The bursary is worth up to £15,000 and will allow Róisín to look at how ANNPs are functioning within the wider neonatal workforce.  Her aim is to drive and promote the need for an advanced practice register linked to The Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The project to develop a European MSc in Advanced Rehabilitation Technologies, funded by a grant from the prestigious Lifelong Learning Program: Erasmus Multilateral Projects Award, kicked off recently at a meeting hosted in Southampton.  Nine of the 10 European partner Universities visited the University of Southampton to get the project off the ground.

Dr Mary Gobbi provided professional training for the project partners in Masters Level programme design and the structures and regulations behind a collaborative European MSc.  The meeting was a great success and the future of the project is looking to be in great hands.
