Other activities
I am a Link Lecturer for several areas where students are placed for their practice placements.
These include several learning disability care homes in the private sector and the NHS, several Community Learning Disability NHS teams, special projects in the social care setting working with people with learning disabilities and mental health problems and other NHS services such as Transfer of Care teams in local hospitals and NHS Commissioning services.
As the Learning Disability programme at Sheffield Hallam University is a joint nursing and social work programme I also support students on social work placements in a variety of private, voluntary and statutory local authority settings.
