Getting Started

Welcome to the AI in Nursing Education: A Multimodal Learning Toolkit, a practical guide for integrating Generative AI into UK nursing education. This toolkit is designed to help educators, students, and institutional leaders navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape safely and effectively.

🚀 Recommended Pathways​

Depending on your role, we recommend starting with the following sections:

For Nursing Educators​

  1. Design Framework: A step-by-step guide to integrating AI into your curriculum.
  2. Teaching with AI: Practical examples of using AI for lesson plan generation, visuals, and simulations.
  3. Responsible Use Checklist: Actionable steps to ensure ethical AI use in your classroom.

For Nursing Students​

  1. What is Generative AI?: A plain-English introduction to the technology.
  2. Individual Competencies: A checklist of skills you need to develop.
  3. Case Studies: Real-world examples of how AI is used in nursing practice.

For Institutional Leaders​

  1. Institutional Framework: Guidance on university-wide policy and governance.
  2. Choosing Platforms: Frameworks for selecting and procuring AI tools at scale.

🛠️ Core Principles​

Every resource in this toolkit is grounded in three core principles:

  1. Person-Centred: AI should enhance, not replace, the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship.
  2. Human-in-the-Loop: Clinical decisions must always be made and verified by a human professional.
  3. Aligned with Standards: All guidance is mapped to the NMC Future Nurse (2018) proficiencies.
