Up to 100 senior nurses took part in a two-day Clinical Teaching and Supervision workshop to become clinical tutors for RCSI Bahrain. The nurses who took part teach, assess and supervise RCSI Bahrain nursing students during their clinical placements in Salmaniyah Medical Complex, Kind Hamad University Hospital, Bahrain Defence Forces Hospital, other ministry of health medical facilities and a number of private hospitals.
The workshop in Clinical Teaching and Supervision, introduced the senior nurses to the RCSI Bahrain, its nursing programmes, RCSIs teaching standards, methods and procedures.
Professor Seamus Cowman, Head of School of Nursing and Midwifery said that "the development of clinical competence in student nurses is essential to high standards of nursing care to patients. Suitable conditions for clinical learning and an understanding of clinical teaching skills are of paramount importance. We are very pleased that our nursing colleagues from the hospitals will join us in developing our standards for student nurses to learn whilst on clinical placement."
RCSI Bahrain Clinical Programming Officer, Ms Erfaneh Naghieh said that "this is an intensive two-day course which aims to ensure that the clinical tutors adopt a more formal role when it comes to teaching students in the future."
