Homeless Health Talk

We're excited one of our own students, Rachel Martin, is leading this session on Homeless Health, which will educate students about the issues facing the homeless people in Glasgow and promote a healthy discussion about how our practice as future healthcare professionals can be truly person-centred and suited to the unique needs of people who are homeless.

 

The session also features three guest speakers:

 

Ann Forsyth - NHSGGC Homeless Health Nurse
