We invite alumni to join us at our alumni conference to help mark the 60th anniversary of Nursing Studies at the University of Edinburgh. The event will bring together our diverse range of nursing graduates in a mix of talks and workshops to document the ‘leaps’ taken by individuals and groups during each of the six decades of our history.
It will be a chance to meet old friends and make new ones while learning how nursing studies is shaping the future for nursing as a profession and a research-led discipline.
