Project Details

     
Nursing Education on St Helena Island, South Atlantic
Project Description
The School of Nursing and Midwifery is supporting nurse education and nursing on the remote island of St Helena. Over the past 5 years a number of St Helena students have enrolled on a variety of modules relevant to nursing and on the BSc in Nursing Science programme in the school. The project has developed over the past year to include a new nursing curriculum for the island and online modules that are accessed by students who are unable to come to Belfast. Students value the project as it gives them the opportunity to be part of a wider community of nursing students and they find studying global nursing issues enjoyable and challenging.
