My last article as a Lecturer at University of Lancashire

As Nurses our education standards tell us we should learn about how to influence policy and politics, but do we really teach it ?

I’m writing my PgCap research proposal. If anything I’m winning the best title competition 🤣.

Funko Me : I’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. 🤖 what are others doing with it ? #education

The card activity I talk about here in last April’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 😁😁

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.
