  3. Elder Dempster events

    Throughout the year, we hold a number of events relating to Elder Dempster Lines. We'll post details about upcoming events on this page. Read more about the workshops, talks and training we've held in the past.

  4. Fitness to Practise - A Student's Guide

    A student’s fitness to practise is called into question when their behaviour or health raises a serious or persistent cause for concern about their ability or suitability to continue on a course.  This includes, but is not limited to, the possibility that they could put patients, the public, other students or staff at risk, and the need to maintain trust in the profession.

  5. Elder Dempster Lines

    Elder Dempster Lines was one of the UK’s largest shipping companies. As part of the Homeward Bound project, we’ve spoken to a number of Elder Dempster’s former employees and passengers, recording their ‘real’ stories and experiences. You can listen to their Elder Dempster stories here.
