This year’s faculty innovation awards recognised the innovative methods that have been applied in teaching and research across the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery. The judging panel comprised of Professor Patricia Grocott and Professor Glenn Robert.

Patricia Grocott, Professor of Nursing Technology Innovation, said: “As a faculty we are dedicated to providing our students with the best learning experience to help prepare them for their future roles in healthcare. One of our key goals is to implement innovative teaching methods and research, and to establish transdisciplinary relationships across all faculties to help us to develop and promote best practice within healthcare. It is a delight and privilege to recognise our faculty staff members for the originality in their work.”

The awards were presented by Professor Patricia Davidson, Dean of the School of Nursing at Johns Hopkins University, as part of her visit to the faculty during the International Scientific Advisory Board meeting.
