Consolidating IT links

The link between Bolga Nurse Training College and the Faculty of Health and Social Care, UWE began in 2006. The orginal aims were to:

  • Improve clinical supervision in the hospital
  • Address mutual areas of concern within the hospital
  • Support student nurses to work in the communities

Two visits by UWE staff have been made to Bolga NTC in Nov 2006 and 2007. Staff from Bolga NTC vsisted UWE in June 2007.

  • Consolidating IT links
  • Improving learning resource access
  • Improving mentoring and preceptoring skills in Bolga NTC and hospital
  • Developing protovols for student exchanges
