2023

HEI Faculty of Health Sciences Lecturing Team shortlisted in the Best Staff Wellbeing Initiative category in the Nursing Times Workforce Summit & Awards 2023. The team includes: Nicki Credland Jayne Walker Lisa Jennison Moira Graham Sarah Butler Luke Sargent Best Staff Wellbeing Initiative Nomination name: Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Hull Nomination code: FT5XFA6ZSJRQNJW Category- Best Staff Wellbeing Initiative Name of initiative/scheme- 'Restorative supervision positively impacts the emotional wellbeing of HEI Lecturers in healthcare'. The aim of the intervention- to explore whether a unique RS model can be used to support health care professionals working in a higher education setting. The challenges of moving from a clinical role to an academic one was explored by several of the participants. The RS sessions helped them to reflect on their expertise and skill within a non-clinical context. The key elements were to provide a confidential safe place for academic staff to feel free to reflect on their experiences; difficulties; and achievements. This project was unique in that, to our knowledge it had not been delivered in any other HEI in this context, directed towards staff who training healthcare students, as previous approaches have only been directed specifically towards students.
