Nicola Credland invited to next Teaching Excellence Awards Ceremony

Text of a letter received by Nicola from Professor Trevor Sheldon of HYMS:

I am writing to let you know that as part of the team, which worked so hard
on setting up the Physician Associate Training Programme over the last year,
you have been nominated for a Staff Excellence Award for your exemplary
work.
A panel drawn from Management Board looked at all nominations. I am
delighted to let you know that it decided your contribution should be
recognised and celebrated by the School. You will therefore be invited to the
School’s next Teaching Excellence Awards Ceremony where your contribution
to the successful development of the programme will be recognised.
The panel noted the impressive achievement of setting up the programme in a
very short period of time and your collective efforts as a highly performing
team to design, develop and have the programme approved, arrange
placements and recruit successfully a full cohort of students. It was particularly
impressive as many of you could not devote yourself full-time to this activity
and it had to be balanced with your other roles.
Congratulations and thank you for your contribution to HYMS.
Best wishes
Trevor

Positive Psychology Approaches to Dementia

Colleagues Dr Chris Clarke and Dr Emma Wolverson in Clinical Psychology have co-edited:

Clarke C, Wolverson E Positive Psychology Approaches to Dementia Jessica Kingsley Publishers, London

As explained by Chris Clarke: 'The book explores the potential for positive psychology perspectives and concepts to be applied in furthering our understanding of ‘living well’ with dementia. Each chapter looks at a specific theme/concept (e.g. hope, humour, resilience etc), relates it to dementia and also includes personal accounts or interview transcripts to illustrate the potential experience of those concepts in living with dementia'.
