This Teaching Award is presented to a Technical Manager in the School of Nursing and Midwifery for the development and delivery of breakaway and de-escalation training to large numbers of undergraduate nursing students.  This important initiative incorporates experiential learning with reflection and discussion to provide nursing students with vital skills and strategies to effectively manage and mitigate confrontational situations and build their confidence for working in practice.

This Teaching Award is presented to a team of nurse lecturers and technicians on the Pre-Registration Nursing course.  The team has developed an immersive simulated experience to prepare their students to care for people living with dementia, during their undergraduate journey and after graduation.  This augmented reality experience develops empathy with, and understanding of, the patient’s experience in a safe environment and has important impact on the students’ future clinical practice and patient care.

  This Teaching Award is presented to a team in the School of Nursing and Midwifery for the development of “The Wellbeing Shelf”, a digital resource to support the wellbeing and resilience of student nurses and midwives.  This resource, co-produced with students, practice partners, service-users/carers and academics, provides students with wellbeing support strategies for use in both University and clinical settings.  This valuable asynchronous learning activity is embedded in all undergraduate modules and is now used to support postgraduate students across the School, with potential for rollout in other Schools.
