* Workshops: Delegates will attend 2 of the 3 workshops in total. Workshop spaces are limited so places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. For more information about the workshops please see below.
Workshop one: Digital story telling
Stephen Thompson background is in adult nursing and has worked in a variety of acute care settings. Currently working as a senior lecturer at London South Bank University. For his doctorate study, his interest is digital storytelling as a teaching strategy within the pre-registration adult nursing programme and is working with Hardy and Sumner who are the founders of http://www.patientvoices.org.uk/. For this workshop, Stephen wishes to introduce you to the potential benefits that digital storytelling can have as a reflective and learning tool.
Workshop two:Using analogy in pain education
Lizzie Ette, Lecturer in Nursing, University of Hull.
Language helps us to gain patient cooperation, consent and understanding – it helps us describe, explain, discuss and teach. Knowingly or otherwise, we frequently draw on what might be called ‘literary devices’ to help us achieve these rich linguistic communications, and analogy is one such device. Analogy is employed to compare one thing - usually something familiar - with another less familiar or unknown thing, and is most commonly used to help explain or clarify something (Oxford University Press, 2018).
This interactive workshop offers participants the opportunity to consider the use of analogy in their own practice and education settings, as well as to experiment with its use.
Workshop Three: Flo: Using Facebook to tell a story and develop empathy with older adults in pain.
Dr Cormac Ryan is a Reader in Physiotherapy at Teesside University. He is the editor in chief of Pain and rehabilitation - the Journal of the Physiotherapy Pain Association, chair of the Physiotherapy Research Society and co-lead of the North East of England hub of the Council for Allied Health Professionals Research. In this interactive workshop Cormac will present a project that was funded by the Higher Education Academy and undertaken with a colleague, Professor Denis Martin. Together with a playwright, and informed by real life stories, they developed a social media based module called FLO’s story (Facebook Learning Object and Florence). The aim of which was to develop health and social care students’ understanding of, and empathy with, older people with persistent pain.
