This webinar will take place on Friday 17th January at 11:30 am. This webinar is aimed at care home providers around the four university campus areas – Ayr, Dumfries, Lanarkshire and Paisley. 

During this session, Tom will give an overview of the new nursing curriculum from September 2020 and the changes to the NMC standards. He will then discuss the benefits and importance of having student placement experiences in care homes and speak about the proposed piloting of said placements in the four UWS campus areas.
