EW YORKER, JOHN Hansen-Brevetti, 32, graduated with a BSc Nursing from
QMU in 2014.
He said: “After I graduated from QMU, I went on to study Health, Community and
Development at the London School of Economics and Political Science. After receiving my master’s
degree, I started working as a Registered
Nurse with Marie Stopes International (MSI).
I was promoted to Clinical Team Leader, and
again to Clinical Operations Manager for one
of MSI’s largest UK clinics.
“I now oversee a team of 12 nurses and
six health care assistants, and manage
the day-to-day operations of a busy family
planning centre in London. I’ve thought about
one day undertaking a PhD in nursing, but for
the moment I’ve got my hands full!” ❒
Aimie progresses podiatry
career in rheumatic and
musculoskeletal medicine

IMIE PATIENCE, from Inverness, graduated with
a BSc (Hons) Podiatry in 2016.
Since leaving QMU’s she’s completed an eight-
week research internship in Leeds with Arthritis Research
UK, where she helped facilitate on-going research into
rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.
Amie said: “I’ve now been appointed
as a Clinical Trials Associate within
the Leeds Institute of Rheumatic
and Musculoskeletal Medicine. My
main duties are recruiting patients
into clinical trials, providing practical
podiatry support when necessary and
collecting, analysing and publishing
work I’m involved in.
“In the near future I hope to apply for a
clinical academic doctorate through the
National Institute of Health Research. I
would conduct PhD research and develop
my clinical skills part-time to ultimately
achieve a fully integrated clinical
academic role within rheumatic and
musculoskeletal disease research.”
Amie concluded: “I would not be
where I am today if it wasn’t for
the brilliant teaching and ongoing
mentorship I’ve received from the
staff at QMU.” ❒
