Declan and Oliva are joined by Dr Laura Collins, a Senior Lecturer (Education) in the Centre for Biomedical Sciences Education. Laura is a trained Biomedical Scientist and Programme Lead for BSc Biomedical Sciences at Queen's. She brings her experiences of working in many institutions across the UK to her work.
As an Academic member of staff she is responsible for the teaching of her students, but also acts as Disability Officer within her Centre. As a disabled member of staff herself, Laura discusses her own experience of being a student, and how that has impacted and influenced her approaches towards teaching and supporting and advocating for students.
