Nursing students as partners in pedagogic consultancy to support the co-creation of teaching and learning

BACKGROUND: The integration of primary health care content within nursing curricula is limited. This study looked at addressing this gap through a collaborative partnership between students and academics that sought to develop and embed learning resources into postregistration and preregistration nursing programmes, with a focus on integrating the All Our Health digital resource. AIM: The study aimed to draw on the student voice to understand how to best align the All Our Health resources in teaching and learning to benefit students equally. METHOD: A sandpit event was held to gather student observations and opinions. Participants described the strengths and limitations of the digital platform, and made recommendations for embedding it into learning programmes. FINDINGS: There are barriers and facilitators to student learning using digital platforms. Benefits include: ease of use and speed; accessibility and user-friendly navigation; relevance; and alignment with traditional teaching and learning strategies; and real-world application. CONCLUSION: All Our Health should be integrated into curricula at an early stage; resources should be aligned clearly with modules; materials should be tailored to levels of learning; and digital platforms should be used alongside learning in clinical practice.
