The Association of HIV Criminalization Law and Disparities in Transplant Education among People with HIV.

While people with HIV (PWH) experience high rates of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), they were historically denied kidney transplantation and prohibited from organ donation, both elements of treating ESKD. It remains unknown to what extent such HIV criminalization laws correlate with the provision of transplantation education to PWH. We conducted this study to elucidate the relationship between these structural-level policies and individual-level outcomes.

Effects of advanced practitioners' learning in one hospital.

A master of science degree course in advanced practice (health and social care) was launched at the University of Salford in 2005 to prepare students for advanced practice roles as part of a workforce modernisation strategy for the north west of England. The development needs of qualified advanced practitioners (APs) and the effects of their roles on service outcomes are difficult to capture; therefore, a study was undertaken to evaluate the longer term effects of the programme and address some of these gaps in knowledge. This article reports the results of the study, which focused on the effects of education in the workplace and found that APs apply their learning in the workplace and can demonstrate its impact on services.

Measuring the impact of the advanced practitioner role: a practical approach.

Aim: This paper aims to illuminate difficulties in evaluating the advanced practitioner role and to offer a practical solution.

Moral difficulties in nursing practice: reflections on the practice of a nurse educator.

In this article issues associated with moral difficulties in nursing practice are explored. Within the context of a personal reflection on a module evaluation, this article was prompted by a discussion with a group of student nurses. The students had just completed a module of study on moral, professional and legal issues in nursing.

What is the future of the lecturer practitioner role-a decade on?

Collaboration between the Greater Manchester Workforce Development Confederation, the University of Salford and nine NHS Trusts, in the implementation of the Fitness for Practice and Making a Difference recommendations, identified the need for a wider co nsultation on the future of education and practice links. Lessons learned from this initiative included a realization of the importance of partnering arrangements between higher education and practice. To achieve a collaborative model for the future a wo rking party was established to determine how effective partnership and collaboration between the NHS Trusts, Confederation and Higher Education could be developed, maintained and disseminated for the future.

Linking the Knowledge and Skills Framework to CPD.

To help staff to make links between the NHS Knowledge and Skills Framework and their continuing professional development, staff at the School of Nursing, University of Salford, have linked all educational provision for qualified healthcare professionals to the NHS KSF. This was carried out in partnership with NHS colleagues.
