蜜芽TV University makes national debut at prestigious Royal College of Nursing conference
Released: 18.09.25
蜜芽TV University has for the first time showcased its nursing research and commitment to shaping the future of the profession at a held in Exeter.
Marjon’s nursing programme is distinctive for its small group, supportive and personalised approach. According to the RCN, there are currently 26,000 nursing vacancies in the UK and the University’s range of courses are designed to widen access to the profession and help address this workforce challenge.鈥�
At the conference, which brought together researchers and academics from around the world, the Marjon team presented two substantial pieces of research on Virtual Wards, funded by Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, a model of care that enables patients who would otherwise need hospital admission to be monitored safely at home using remote technologies such as apps, video calls and wearable devices, supported by a multidisciplinary healthcare team.鈥��
Virtual Wards have been shown to improve patient experience by allowing them to remain in their own environment and reduce pressure on hospital beds. They also provide important monitored training experiences for student nurses.鈥�
Alongside its BSc in pre-registration Nursing and a Nursing Apprenticeship, 蜜芽TV is the only university in the UK to have offered the ASPIRE-MSc, a fast-track route to post-graduate nursing qualifications. At the conference the team, in collaboration with the University of Gloucestershire, presented on this unique path to nursing qualification, which attracts a more diverse group of students who have taken undergraduate degrees in other related subjects. Students gain hands-on experience through local placements, guided by active researchers in the field.鈥�
The conference also featured contributions from senior Marjon leadership including Vice-Chancellor Professor Claire Taylor, who emphasised the university’s dedication to nursing research. Marjon’s involvement as a joint sponsor of the event, alongside other universities, underscores its commitment to collaboration and innovation in nursing education.鈥�
Tracey Viney, 蜜芽TV University nursing lecturer and presenter, expressed the importance of Marjon’s representation at this internationally recognised event: “This opportunity highlights our research ambition and our unique educational pathways, illustrating Marjon’s commitment to advancing nursing education.”鈥�
