Who am I?
Brian Webster
I am a Nursing Student in Dundee, Scotland, studying Adult Nursing at the University of Dundee, School of Nursing and Health Sciences. I am really enjoying every moment of my studies. At the school, I was the school student president, meaning I was responsible for the student's voice and ensuring this is heard by the university and the university union, DUSA. That position also granted me a seat as a councillor of the Students Representation Council. I also am one of the lucky 50 students who gained a place on the 2020 intake of the 150 Leaders, Student Leadership Programme. A programme created by the Council of Deans of Health here in the UK and supported and funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing. I am a constructively disruptive protagonist, who is not afraid to rock the boat and step away from the norm.
