A friend very kindly bought me a book which is on the reading list but i won't buy myself any yet, may see what's in the library! Are you a 'mature' student like myself? (29)
I think i may have a look to see if i can get any cheap. I am a little maturer than you lol....32! Probably the oldest...but i have had a good few years working in nhs :smile:

Yea, although i don't really mind, I've worked in mental health for almost 10 years so am keeping my options open and looking forward to different placements! Do you work at reaside by any chance?
