What a fabulous and inspiring event we have just had @GowerHeritage with @yamnette who spoke about her amazing @loveamaggot campaign and about the important and fascinating work being undertaken by her team @swanseauniversity
Never again will I look at maggots with disgust!
A brilliant research conference organised by @DrEmmaRees today! Fabulous to see so much awesome health research being undertaken @SwanseaHSC @SwanseaUni and, oh yes, and a little bit of maggot loving too! @ioan_humphreys β€οΈ
Met with the amazing Professor Yamni Nigam today about the Love A Maggot project at Swansea University. We were blown away about how fascinating these little creatures are and how they are helping patients heal from wounds. #swanseauni#maggots#health#healing#nhs#swansea
A huge pleasure to chat with your students @themullanyfund, all really interested in pursuing healthcare degrees! So proud to be a mentor for your charity and looking forward to seeing some of these guys @SwanseaUni in the future!!
Thank you to @yamnette and Dean Snipe from @SwanseaUni for speaking to e-Mentoring students about life in healthcare and the work they do!
Students gained an insight into the process of applying to healthcare degrees and learned about the amazing power of maggots to heal wounds!
