The Graduate Entry Nursing (GEN) programme recognises that prior
learning and experience is integral to the student’s learning and to
the teaching approaches adopted. The programme embraces the
values of person-hood, person-centeredness and professional identity,
and that central to achievement on the programme will be a
pro-active and positive approach to learning. This will necessitate
skills and behaviours to be exhibited around excellent communication,
emotional intelligence, enhanced clinical decision making and reasoning,
authentic leadership, reflexivity and reflection on and in practice.
The Keele accelerated postgraduate student will have the capability
to demonstrate enhanced skills in the application of research findings
and the ability to undertake research and to lead in order to take
evidence based nursing practice forward.
