Your Committee
Chair- Verity McCready
Hi everyone! I'm Verity, a second-year MNurs Adult and Child Student Nurse and I’m absolutely thrilled to be Chair of the Nursing Society this year!
Originally from the beautiful South Devon, I love making the most of the outdoors – whether that’s sea swimming, paddleboarding, exploring the moorland, or heading out on adventures with my gorgeous pup, Dobby.
I’m really passionate about learning and providing the best possible nursing care, with a particular interest in emergency medicine.
I can’t wait to welcome you all in September and get to know you through all the amazing events we’ve got planned. It’s going to be an exciting year for NurSoc – and I’m so happy you’ll be a part of it!
Secretary and Family Co-ordinator - Jessica Gowling
Hey Everyone! My names Jessica and I’m a second year MNurs Adult and Child Student. I’m going to be your 25/26 secretary and Family Rep. My dream specialism is Neonatal Nursing!
When I’m not studying, you’ll find me spending time with my friends, reading a crime novel or baking - I’m especially proud of my sourdough starter David!
I’m incredibly passionate about improving the transition process and supporting our student nurses in settling in! I can’t wait for you to see what we have got planned for the upcoming academic year, it's going to be amazing meeting you all.
Treasurer- Oscar Stone
My name’s Oscar and I am a second year MNurs (Adult and Child) student. I am delighted to be the 25-26 Treasurer of the Nursing Society.
As well as working hard studying, I love getting my teeth sunk into a good TV show, book or film. I also enjoy spending time with friends, exploring the city and all it has to offer.
I originally come from Somerset but live in Plymouth during term time. Having moved to university and knowing how difficult some people can find it, I am keen to help new students settle in and find their footing and it is my hope that the Nursing Society will help people like it helped me when I first moved to university.
Social Sec and Social Media Manager- Agnieszka Klis
Hey everyone! I'm Aga, your Social Secretary for this academic year and a second-year MNurse student specialising in both Child and Adult fields.
I moved to Plymouth about a year ago, and I've absolutely fallen in love with this city. Whether it's going out paddle boarding, swimming in the sea, charity shop hunting, or meeting friends in cosy coffee shops, I'm always finding new ways to enjoy it and I do it all with my amazing dog, Trixie, by my side.
I love spending time with friends and staying active, whether that's hitting the gym or playing a friendly game of tennis. Nursing is my passion, even though I'm still figuring out whether I want to focus on paediatrics or adult nursing for now, I just know I love what I do and can't wait to see where this journey takes me.
I've planned some great socials this year to help us all connect, have fun, and support each other through the busy times ahead. I can't wait to meet you all and make this academic year one to remember!
Health and Safety Officer and Fundraising Rep- Lucy Armstrong
Hey, I’m Lucy! I’m the go-to person for all things health and safety – keeping things running smoothly, safely, and stress-free. Whether it’s making sure everything’s up to code or helping people feel comfortable and supported, I’m always here to help! I will also be the named first aider for socials.
As your Fundraising Rep, I also get to plan awesome events that bring people together and raise money for causes we care about, I love seeing the impact we can make as a community! Our Charity for this year is MIND – stay tuned for all the events I have planned with fundraising.
I am originally from London, so I know how tough (and exciting!) it can be moving far from home for uni. If you ever need someone to chat with, I’m always up for a coffee or catch-up.
When I’m not on duty, you will usually find me baking something sweet, trying out new recipes, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Food is definitely my love language!
Let’s make this year safe, fun, and full of great memories!
