We have led a successful consortium bid for £1M funding for Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions Research Training, are party to the £2.4M research grant for Enhancing Self-Care, and our overall research profile continues to grow with increased research grants and funding. About the School The School embraces quality assurance and enhancement by focusing on reflection and action, and we evaluate the impact of programmes of study on students, their learning and their clinical practice. We make sure our programmes are the best for quality and relevance by including students, clinical colleagues and external examiners in the development of the academic curriculum. In particular, the School works in partnership with local health providers including the NHS to develop academic programmes that reflect the changing nature of the health environment and satisfy the requirements of employers. The School's Clinical Practice and Placement Support Unit (CPPSU) supports learning in clinical practice. CPPSU's experienced and customer-focused academic staff support students and mentors within the clinical areas. Fifteen practice education facilitators operate across Tayside and Fife to enhance the quality of the practice learning experience and positively contribute to the future nursing and midwifery workforce. As well as our three large campuses at Dundee City Centre, Ninewells Hospital and Kirkcaldy, we also operate three study centres in Perth, Angus and Braeknowe in Dundee. Our students have access to all of the University's facilities, services and clubs and we encourage our students to enjoy and make the most of their university experience.
'Generally, students registering
as first level registered nurses today are much more reflective than
previously, and many have the ability to apply research to the practice
environment in an effective way. Students also have the ability to
question colleagues on the care prescribed with a heightened awareness
of their own responsibility particularly in relation to legal and
ethical issues.'
'
We are a youngish university, not an ivy-covered institution, and we do
things that are synonymous with modernity.' Created by Contact Form Generator |
