This week we welcome Dr Kirsten Jack (RN, PhD) @Heijinxs to explore the use of art in cross-discipline undergraduate education. 

Kirsten is Senior Lecturer Adult Nursing at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her contribution to teaching, learning and research is supported by a clinical career in adult nursing where she specialised in primary care nursing, before embarking on her academic career. She is committed to excellence in teaching and learning and was awarded a HEA National Teaching Fellowship and a Manchester Metropolitan University Outstanding Innovation in Teaching Award in 2014. She has a keen interest in pedagogical research specifically the exploration of the use of the arts in nurse education to support nurses’ emotional self-awareness development. She led on the development of a website www.caringwords.mmu.ac.uk which encourages health care professionals to write reflective poetry, as way to explore their thoughts and feelings about clinical practice.
