By Matthew Butler

Matt is joined by Braidey, a newly qualified nurse in addiction services. 

Braidey gives a compelling and honest account of becoming a nurse and gives practical advice for those looking to enter this profession for the first time. Her work involves delivering an outreach nursing provision directly to homeless communities and addressing the unique healthcare needs of this vulnerable population.  

As a student nurse, she faced numerous challenges, including navigating through numerous placements and managing industry expectations despite academic shortfalls.  Braidey&aposs story is a reminder that success is not always measured by academic achievements but by the effort and dedication she puts into her work and helping some of the hardest people to reach.


Believe in People explores addiction, recovery and stigma.
