School of Health Sciences Community Engagement Seminar

Service Users’ and Carers’ Collaboration within Adult Student Nurse Learning

The School of Health Sciences at City University London would like to invite you to attend our next Community Engagement Seminar.

Date:  Wednesday 24 June 2015

Time:  1pm-2pm

Location:  Room A226, College Building, City University London

The seminar will be led by Melissa Chamney, a Senior Lecturer specilising in nephrology nursing and also the Programme Director for Undergraduate Pre-Registration Adult Nursing and joined the school in August 2004.

The nursing curriculum is based on a commitment to a relationship-centred care where health professionals and students value the relationships that form the context of care, including those of service users and carers.  Within the adult undergraduate nurse programme during the Experiencing Long Term Care, Rehabilitation and Recovery module students have sessions led by service users and carers with long term conditions.

Meeting service users and carers outside clinical environments helps students gain a clearer understanding of how conditions can affect people’s daily lives (Terry 2011).  It provides a focus for students to be aware of the tools and systems available to service users and carers to help them manage their long term condition.  Students can then use these to incorporate into the care of their patients and their family and friends (Expert Patients Programme 2012).
