BILD launches new low cost student membership
We
have launched a new Student membership which will offer a wide
range of benefits to students in health, education, nursing, and
social care - all for only £10 a year.
The aim is to ensure students have easy access to BILD’s
learning disabilities expertise while being able to take
advantage of discounts on personal development services such as
BILD events and conferences. Both BILD and the students will
gain from the exchange of ideas and best practice during their
membership, people with learning disabilities will gain from a
future workforce that is focussed on what they have said they
want and need.
The new student membership was being launched at the National
Network of Learning Disabilities Nurses (NNLDN) Networking
conference in York on 19 July. Also at this event were 100
learning disability nursing students attending a Positive
Choices Network event being run in parallel.
“Our hope is students will take the chance this membership
offers to access our expertise and information and the
opportunities to network with others interested in this field”,
said Keith Smith, BILD Chief Executive.

purchase a student membership online now.
