The awards celebrate the hard work and dedication of students from across Bournemouth University’s health and social sciences courses – with departmental and course-specific prizes being given among awards recognising compassionate care, exceptional leadership qualities, and achievement against adversity.
The awards were opened by BU Vice-Chancellor Professor John Vinney and the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences’ Deputy Dean of Education and Professional Practice, Dr Sara White, and were closed by the Dean of the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences, Professor Anand Pandyan.
Dr Sara White said: “This awards ceremony is a fantastic occasion to celebrate the achievements of some of our students and recognise their hard work and dedication to their studies and future careers.
“I was heartened to hear stories of students who have continued to achieve despite adversity, as well as those who have excelled in their placement or academic work.
