Maria D.

I am an award winning senior nurse who amongst winning national awards for compassion has also won a number of engagement awards including starting a movement and inspirational leader of the future and too overcoming barriers. I am passionate about community engagement and fundraising and community inclusion which led to me organizing an event in Derbyshire which 13000 attended in 2014, a success I attribute in part to social media. I am a firm supporter of the benefits of social media as a tool for engaging others and breaking down barriers often placed in society. I am @Proudtonurse on twitter amongst others!
