This film is a great example of highlighting lesser known conditions and the visible and invisible issues associated with them. So it was great to shine a spotlight on the world of brain injury and long term neurological conditions, the difficulties that people encounter and how they can be overcome. These aspects were bought to life by the close involvement of both service users and students in the making of this film.
In the year 2 unit Care of Clients with Acute and Long-term Conditions, student nurses at ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ learn about different conditions (illnesses) and how to care for people with those conditions. While that learning includes real-life case studies these are on paper, which can limit the impact for students to truly understand what it is like to be a person living with a condition. What is it like to live with a long-term condition? How does it affect the person’s ability to work? Play? Sustain relationships? How do they view themselves? The person living with the condition is the expert on the answers to such questions. In this film you will meet Lou Brown who kindly shares with us what it is like having Crohn’s disease and the affect it has had on her life. What she says might surprise you. This resource seeks to help students’ develop greater insight and put their learning into context by impacting on them how life-changing long-term conditions (often characterised by periods of acute worsening of the condition) can be to people and their loved ones. During and after watching this, students will be encouraged to consider what they have learned and how their practice might be improved as a result. This film was co-produced with students from ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥â€™s Faculty of Media and Communication, Lou, Johnny Branney from Adult nursing and the ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ Carer and Service User Partnership.
As part of a second year, undergraduate Therapeutic Communication in Adult Nursing unit, ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ nursing students are invited to explore the role of eHealth and digital technology in healthcare and the implications of this on health professional-patient communication, professional practice and patient experience.  This short film co-produced with students from ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥â€™s Faculty of Media and Communication, Derick, Sue Baron from Adult nursing and the ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ Carer and Service User Partnership assist this exploration by providing first-hand insights into how Derick has been using technology to live with and manage his health condition.   Derick’s story forms part of an educational package which in addition to raising awareness, also encourage students to consider and discuss the potential impact of digital technology and eHealth on communication and relationship-building between the individual, their care partner, and healthcare provider. This package is one of number of varied resources and learning activities which students will use to reflect on, learn from and further develop their knowledge, skills and practice during the Therapeutic Communication in Adult Nursing unit.  The unit forms part of the BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing programme.
