Discover interprofessional learning across health, social and education
New research highlights delegation as a key skill for nursing students

A new study carried out by researcher Helen Allan, Professor of Nursing at Middlesex, and colleagues at the University of Surrey, University of Salford and UCL Institute of Education sheds light on the practice of delegation in NHS nursing roles.

The research – which followed newly qualified nurses in four hospital trusts across England over a three year period – found increased educational and organisational support is needed to develop nurses’ delegation skills.

Professor Allan’s work highlights an immediate concern as the most recent Nursing and Midwifery Council Code of Conduct states registered nurses should be accountable for their decisions to delegate tasks.

Inter-professional learning symposia

Working within developing people-facing sectors, we believe that gaining an understanding of other professionals' roles and skills in a shared context can benefit wider learning.

Building culturally aware robots

Middlesex University and the University of Bedfordshire will collaborate on an international three-year research project to develop and evaluate the world’s first culturally aware robots aimed at assisting in caring for the elderly.

Irena Papadopoulos, Professor of Transcultural Health and Nursing at Middlesex University, will be responsible for developing the cultural concepts and guidelines so that robots are able to respond to the culture-specific needs and preferences of elderly clients.

It is hoped that the project will not only reduce pressure on healthcare services but also boost independence, reduce loneliness and ultimately improve quality of life among elderly people.
