Enhanced patient outcomes: Celebrating Postgraduate Nurse/Midwife Education

Postgraduate nurse/midwife education has been shown to enhance patient outcomes through the provision of care by nurses/midwives who have more knowledge, an increased ability to critically think their way through the care patients receive and possess an ability to decipher the best evidence to inform and impact patient care and resultant outcomes. The Global Pandemic has illuminated the importance of highly skilled front line nurses/midwives educated at Postgraduate level and the importance of HEIs being able to provide relevant and accessible courses of study.

This three-hour online event facilitated via MS Teams brings together academic/clinical educators from across the RCSI hospital group and associated clinical partners.  We are inviting five-minute poster presentations from individual educators highlighting innovations and enhancements in nurse/midwife education. This event includes student engagement/reflections and will facilitate reflection on what we have learned, what good teaching and learning looks like and how it can be supported into the future

Focus of the event
