My last article as a Lecturer at University of Lancashire

Iโ€™m writing my PgCap research proposal. If anything Iโ€™m winning the best title competition ๐Ÿคฃ.

WHAT DO WE WANT ? weโ€™re not sure. WHEN DO WE WANT IT ? At some point. How do we educate undergraduate nurses to influence policy and politics in the UK.

Funko Me : Iโ€™ve been using #AI a lot recently as a study tool. Having it identify further papers for me, summarise documents and ask me questions. When used appropriately it is such a powerful tool for thinking and learning. ๐Ÿค– what are others doing with it ? #education

The card activity I talk about here in last Aprilโ€™s meeting rsvpnursingmidwifery.wordpress.com/event-record... always happy to share what is a very simple but very effective activity. The bomb disposal is a separate maths based escape room for the afternoon activity ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Haha so students use the Lego to build a park without talking, and one person in the group can only use their non dominant hand.
LD nurses work with a lot of non-verbal patients with other disabilities, so it was an exercise on communication. The cards I use to facilitate debrief.

Hospital corridor

Hospital corridor

"Safe and good quality care cannot co-exist with treatment in corridors."

In the midst of huge winter pressures, NHS principles on care in โ€œtemporary escalation spacesโ€ threaten to take leave from reality, say Julian Sheather and Matt Phillips

A6 I think itโ€™s important to build the evidence base not for now but the future, the lack of unsupervised risky play in gen alpha ect and its effects on socialisation mental health and anxiety could lead to a reduction in play in learning in the future #lthechat
