Description
This ebook presents the interim findings of a research project that assessed the impact of the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism (Oliver’s training) at the pre-qualification stage for nurses and midwives. It formed part of a pilot that was launched in March 2023 at Bucks New University’s (BNU), which was commissioned from NHS England to test the integration of the Oliver’s training into pre-registration nursing and midwifery education.
The research was carried independently and aimed to test the hypothesis that: The integration of the Oliver McGowan Training into Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) approved pre-qualifying Curricula can better serve the aims of the Health and Care Act 2022, and help address health inequalities. The key research objective was to find out whether Oliver’s training should be integrated into pre-qualifying NMC approved Nursing and Midwifery curricula.
This ebook reports on the findings of Phase 1, which directly spoke to 22 BNU students, 8 BNU staff, 9 training providers (other than BNU), 6 registered nurses and midwives and 4 NHSE and BNU project staff.
