Morning Liz
Hope things are quietening down a little now. Like you, I was under the
impression that nursing students were not eligble for the DSA - i have had
contact with about 3 nursing students this term. I just wondered if you got
a response to your message requesting a copy of the guidelines? or whether
you got an address. It would be good to distribute the information to the
consortium. Should I contact Madi as well?
If you see Phillipa please say hello.
Have a great Christmas.
