Item The Student International Community of Practice: A critical reflection on the shared experience of being a member, using creative hermeneutics(Foundation of Nursing Studies, 2020-05-13) Sanders, Kate; Marriott-Statham, Kelly; Mackay, Maria; McMillan, Ailsa; Rennie, Karen; Robinson, Betty Ann; Teeling, Sean PaulBackground: The Student International Community of Practice is a global network of more than 30 doctoral candidates affiliated with the Centre for Person-centred Practice Research, at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh. An ongoing challenge the community faces is its changing and growing membership; as members progress and complete their doctoral studies they leave the group, and as the centre grows new community members (doctoral candidates) join.Item Learning to deal with crisis in the home: Part 2 - preparing preregistration students(MA Healthcare Ltd, 2015-12-04) Gibson, Caroline; Dickson, Caroline; Lawson, Bill; McMillan, Ailsa; Kelly, HelenaThe global shift of health care is from acute services to community and primary care. Therefore, registrants must be prepared to work effectively within diverse settings. This article is the second in a series discussing the preparation of nurses for contemporary health-care challenges in the community. In it, we outline the design, implementation, and evaluation of simulated emergency scenarios within an honours degree-level, pre-registration nursing curriculum in Scotland. Over 3 years, 99 final-year students participated in interactive sessions focusing on recognition and management of the deteriorating patient and emergency care. Clinical scenarios were designed and delivered collaboratively with community practitioners. Debriefing challenged the students to reflect on learning and transferability of skills of clinical reasoning and care management to the community context. Students considered the scenarios to be realistic and perceived that their confidence had increased. Development of such simulation exercises is worthy of further debate in education and practice.Item Learning to deal with crisis in the home: Part 1 - developing community simulation scenarios(MA Healthcare Ltd, 2015-11) Gibson, Caroline; Dickson, Caroline; Lawson, Bill; McMillan, Ailsa; Kelly, HelenaContemporary health care is increasingly being located in the community. From the evident changes in demographics and general health, it can be derived that the people whom student nurses care for are likely to have multiple comorbidities and be vulnerable to clinical deterioration. These nurses are required to develop a range of transferrable skills to meet the demands of the population. The challenge for educators of preregistration student nurses is to develop educational strategies to prepare them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to recognise and manage deterioration appropriately in any context. This article is the first of two papers discussing the stimulus, design, and delivery of an educational innovation that focuses on the recognition and management of the deteriorating patient. The article explores current literature about community-focused simulation highlighting the potential learning opportunities resulting from contextualising simulation scenarios specific to the community setting.Item Bed-blockers, breachers and boarders(2015) McMillan, Ailsa
