Occasionally I like to mix work and pleasure. I love just having a creative morning. I think even very design skills are sorely undervalued and under estimated in HE. But this morning I thought I’d make somthing important to both #UniversityofManchester and #Nursing #Design #HigherEducation

Today I’m starting to plan my first ever piece of research 🧐 no matter how small it might be !! I’m going to look at how we teach nurses in the UK to influence Ppolicy and Ppolitics.feels incredibly powerful to be doing this In the home of the first Nursing Degree. 😁😁@uomsoss.bsky.social #FMFTW

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

Just finished my slides for our 2nd year Policy in Nursing module and thought I’d add some real life examples of nurses who impacted policy past and present. Because you know Nurses are ace and we change the world !! 🩵 #Nurse #Education #NHS @alisonleary1.bsky.social @dameanionwu.bsky.social

If this is true this is nuts !! Corridor care can not become normalised. Nursing patients in displaced areas where there is no clear resource allocation or clarity on who is looking after the patient is akin to disaster management and puts nurses at risk. #Nursesky #NHS
