Vote Chris Valentine Vice President Faculty of Health Getting to the heart of health issues
Some Info about me! Hi, all For those of you who don’t know me I am a third year student nurse from Cohort 38. I have been actively involved in the student representative body since I arrived at Edge Hill University in 2008. This year I have been working hard as your Faculty of Health Student representative. I live within Ormskirk and take a full part in all of the activities that take place in and around the campus, being involved in the arranging and staging of many of the social functions that take place. I am approachable, broad minded and willing to provide support if that’s what you need. I am the type of person that sees that something is wrong and wants to do something about it. If that means I have to knock on doors and ruffle feathers then that’s what I do. Alternatively if I can get the same results by sitting down and having a calm discussion with senior academic staff then I can do that too.
What I’ve already done for you! I am also more than aware of the difficulties that students face throughout the academic year and have consistently worked with the student body and academic staff to try to make life easier for students. In particular I have sat on the faculty board and ensured that your views and voice were heard by senior faculty academic staff. I have consistently presented these views and given feedback to students on issues such as 1. Lobbying the faculty to improve clinical skill updates for critical processes to enhance knowledge and abilities. 2. Improve and reduce the time taken to get replacement, uniform and equipment. 3. Represented the views and needs of students on the ‘PUPP’ programme board to ensure that we are heard as a student body and are able to provide significant inputs. 4. Listened to what the students wanted to enhance the social life within the campus including opening discussions on events such as a winter ball. 5. Successfully persuaded the university to change the operating times of the campus bus to support student safety initiatives. It now runs for three hours more than previous.
