Led by De Montfort University, the project aimed to identify how Academic Quality (AQ) processes could support adoption of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Our project has been driven by a focus on providing insights of value to HEI practitioners, recognising the diversity of roles of staff and students with an interest in ESD, and the great range of contexts within HEIs which will shape viable and appropriate approaches. Three aspects to this work that we agreed were highly significant are: 1) Institutional and departmental context is a key driver of what is possible in a particular HEI. This includes the nature and degree of strategic commitments to sustainable development and capacity of staff and students. 2) Whilst strategic commitments to sustainability or ESD are increasingly frequent, explicit inclusion of ESD in AQ and SV processes is still rare. It is therefore timely to produce a report highlighting specific examples of what this can look like from a range of settings. 3) Although addressing ESD in AQ and SV processes is an important component of its mainstreaming across an institution, it is likely to be ineffective without a wider enabling environment, that motivates and empowers students and staff to understand the agenda and put it into practice.Item Metadata only Ensuring effective placements for pre-registration nursing students on endoscopy units(2012) Tremayne, P.; Harrison, P.Item Metadata only Ensuring person-centred care in gastrointestinal nursing(2013-12) Harrison, P.Item Metadata only Evaluating an interview preparation process for student nurses.(MA Healthcare, 2007) Tremayne, P.; Moriarty, A.; Harrison, P.Item Open Access Harnessing Academic Quality Processes to address Sustainability in Higher Education Courses: Issues and Opportunities in the UK(2024-04-11) Reeves, Andrew; Gwilliam, J.; Harrison, P.; Prize, L.; Schantz, N.; Ribchester, C.; Hughes, T.; Gretton, S.; Strachan, S.; Logan, L.; Boxley, S.; Lengthorn, E.; Barrett, H.; Peres, S.To mainstream education for sustainability across all courses in a higher education institution, there is clear value in harnessing academic quality processes, which regulate taught courses’ approval and enhancement. For UK universities, there has been slow progress to date in making sustainability feature in such processes and there is a lack of knowledge about what influences academic quality processes to be used in this way and of the impacts that result. This study addresses this knowledge gap using data from an online survey of staff in UK universities (n=84) and evidence from 11 universities taking part in a one-year collaborative project to enhance their use of academic quality processes to better address Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Our findings show that whilst institutional commitments to sustainability are now widespread, the adoption of academic quality processes to embed sustainability in the curriculum lags behind. Even where processes mention sustainability, this is frequently viewed as an ineffective “tick-box” exercise. To achieve impactful ESD adoption, academic quality processes that address sustainability rely upon a strong enabling environment. Key enabling factors include: strategic commitment to sustainability; available ESD expertise from staff mentors; and clear examples of strong ESD practice and associated academic quality documentation.Item Metadata only Liberating the NHS: Implications for GI nurses for 2011 and beyond.(2011) Harrison, P.Item Metadata only Liberating the NHS: Implications for nurses.(MA Healthcare, 2010) Harrison, P.Item Metadata only Making use of educational opportunities.(MA Healthcare, 2010) Harrison, P.Item Metadata only A NICE influence on GI nurses?(MA Healthcare, 2011) Harrison, P.Item Metadata only Public health 2011 - A role for all gastrointestinal nurses.(2011) Harrison, P.Item Metadata only What next for advanced practitioners?(MA Healthcare, 2010) Harrison, P.
