Gill is passionate about her work. She understands her subject and this is reflected in the content of the Whose Shoes?® tool. She makes her workshops interesting and educational and encourages all levels of staff to discuss problems associated with health or social care. Gill is a great colleague and service provider"

Val Barcroft
Organiser of Whose Shoes?® workshop at Bangor University

We have used the Whose Shoes?® game as part of our Inter Professional Learning (IPL) workshops with nursing and social work students, and the session was really well evaluated. One of the evaluation comments from a social work student was "it gave me more of an understanding of nurses' roles; I enjoyed the game, it created good discussions"
