UWL Nursing students present posters about improving services and patient outcomes to guests from NHS Trusts
intro
Three hundred final year nursing students studying at UWL’s College of Nursing, Midwifery and Healthcare (CNMH) in London and Berkshire recently presented posters created as part of their dissertations to academic staff from CNMH, clinicians from affiliated NHS Trusts and public advisers (service user educators). The students were from the BNursing Adult Nursing, Learning Disability Nursing, Children’s Nursing and Mental Health Nursing courses.

Their posters explored how to improve NHS services and outcomes in response to healthcare challenges. They analysed methods of service evaluation and improvement to propose and plan for organisational change. The students also appraised and applied collaborative approaches to risk identification, problem solving and decision making in planning and implementing innovations in challenging, complex and dynamic health and social care systems.
The students received constructive feedback on their skills development, knowledge and behaviours to enable them to go on to take on management and leadership roles and demonstrate innovation within the NHS. They also engaged in discussions around developing plans for delivering change and innovation that focus on better outcomes for people who are using specific services.
The students, academic staff and invitees were all able to participate, add and collaborate. There was a wide range of practical and realistic projects with many ingenious ideas to explore,”
explains Ivan Olivera Daza, an Adult Nursing Lecturer at CNMH.
The poster presentation gave me good insight on the need for nurses to use effective language and communication in the management of obesity,”
says final year BNursing (Hons) Mental Health Nursing student Chinagorum.
The event was really productive and enlightening. The students had all done such great work,”
adds Manjusha Shukla, Clinical Practice Facilitator at West London NHS Trust.
Carmen Madicu, Advanced Clinical Practitioner at Central and North West London NHS Trust, says:
The poster gallery helped the students talk about their projects. They are a clever way to approach a dissertation.
I particularly enjoyed a conversation I had with a student who was presenting a poster about nutrition and healing processes in elderly people.”
