I have exciting news.  I am going to be lecturing to students on other courses from September onwards.

I already lecture to students on the Nursing courses.  I will also be talking to students on Social Work, Pharmacy, Sports and Medical courses. 

I will be explaining my experiences of being a person with a learning disability and – for example – with the social work students, I will talk to them about what it’s like having a social worker.  With Pharmacy I’ll explain what it’s like picking up your medication and how people with a learning disability should be treated.   I’ll tell the medical students how I felt when I went for surgery.

I’m not sure when I will start to teach the Sports students but when I do, I’ll be able to share my experience of competing at the Special Olympics.

There will be lots more work to do this academic year!

I enjoyed AdFest this year – I had a stall with one of the Nursing Course staff and we were promoting Learning Disability Nursing.  A few people came to our stall.

I’ve joined the Summer Club and we went on a day trip to Caernarfon the other day – we had a go at cycling through the streets. 

Trilogy Nightclub in Bangor was great fun last night – it’s an accessible nightclub for people with a learning disability run by Llwybrau Llesiant – it’s from 7 – 10pm.  Lots of people were dancing and you’re able to buy a beer if you want. It’s great fun.  Loads of people from across north Wales came to it.
