Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport Shona Robison visited Edinburgh Napier’s Sighthill campus today as a review into widening access to nursing and midwifery was announced.
The Cabinet Secretary met staff and students at the University’s Simulation and Clinical Skills Centre as she took in a tour of the facility, seeing first-hand the technology and equipment the University uses to train its health professionals of tomorrow.
The widening access review has been commissioned by Scotland’s Chief Nursing Officer, Professor Fiona McQueen and will be led by Depute Principal and Depute Vice Chancellor of the University of West of Scotland, Professor Paul Martin CBE.
It aims to work with key stakeholders to identify best practice and current barriers to entering the professions, and to make recommendations to enhance accessibility to a wide range of aspiring nurses and midwives.
