Last Updated: December 2025

These case studies demonstrate practical applications of multimodal GenAI in UK nursing education. Each case study includes:

  • Context — The educational or clinical setting
  • Challenge — The problem being addressed
  • Solution — How GenAI was used multimodally
  • Tools Used — Specific GenAI platforms and technologies
  • Outcomes — Results and impact on learning
  • Key Learnings — Lessons for other educators
  • NMC Alignment — How this supports NMC standards

Wound Care Visualization​

Using text-to-image AI to create anatomical wound healing diagrams and care pathway visualizations.

NMC Competencies: Platform 1 (Being an accountable professional), Platform 2 (Promoting health and preventing ill health)
