Why vote for Holly Berry?

Over the last academic year, I have been the academic midwifery president; I have thoroughly enjoyed this role and would like to continue this for another year. I have implemented some changes into practice over the last year, I’d like to continue this role to make further changes. I'd love to work at optimising students’ experiences while on placement and ensuring they get the best education possible from our trust providers. I would like to work closer with students across all cohorts this year to actively listen to your ideas and concepts for improvements. Over the last year, I have worked closely with the placement partners to deliver feedback and bring new ideas to support students while on placement; I believe this is crucial for change.

Over the last year, I created the ‘Shift tool’ that has now been implemented in practice. I would like to continue this role as president to attain feedback on its impact on placement and identify if any amendments would support its use.

I am open to feedback and encourage students to raise any concerns to strive for positive wellbeing, education, and experiences.
