Social Justice Praxis in Nursing Midwifery and Healthcare
2022-03-31, Gilmore, John
Nurses and Midwives play a critically important role in recognising and responding to the needs of marginalised, vulnerable and minority groups. Evidence of health inequities and the role of the social determinants of health tell us just how important these are for the health and wellbeing of our patients and clients. The principles of equity, diversity and inclusion are therefore increasingly being seen as core concepts and underpinning values for nursing and midwifery education, as well as the subject of much of our research.

Integrating UDL into an enquiry-based learning approach to social justice education
2023-03-15, Gilmore, John
Social injustices and inequalities are significant issues within healthcare education; and are inextricably linked to poorer health outcomes especially for the most marginalised. In developing a module which aims to empower healthcare practitioner students to challenge injustices, within society and healthcare systems, a combined hybrid enquiry-based learning with UDL underpinnings can address issues of social justice AS learning as well as social justice IN learning. This presentation will practically address how UDL principles can be integrated into an enquiry-based learning approach; maximising learner autonomy, engagement and action.

Community needs of gbMSM in Ireland in Response to Mpox Public Health Emergency of International Concern
2023-11-18, Gilmore, John, Comer, David, Shanley, Adam, Noone, Chris
Introduction: In May 2022 there was a growing number of globally reported cases of mpox, most reported in communities of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM). In July 2022, the WHO designated the outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC; Nuzzo et al., 2022). The first mpox case was reported in Ireland on the 27th of May 2022 and confirmed reported cases to the end of 2022 stood at 227. Throughout the response to the PHEIC, community organisations were responsible for leading community-focussed communication and support. Methods: ● A cross sectional, online, mixed methods survey was deployed and completed by 163 gay and bisexual men in Ireland. ● Descriptive statistical analysis for quantitative data. ● Reflexive Thematic Analysis informed by Critical realism utilised for qualitative open ended answers (Braun et al 2021) Results: Quantitative responses focussed on perceptions of mpox, sources of information on mpox and perceived trustworthiness of information sources. Qualitative responses reflected four broad themes 1. Perceptions of the mpox response: divergence in urgency, priority & care 2. The mpox outbreak as a sign of otherness for gbMSM. 3. The potential for othering through mpox prevention practices. 4. Fear of mpox and the influence of previous culturally significant pandemics. Discussion: While there was dissatisfaction with the response from statutory public health agencies reflected by participants, overall participants felt well informed and supported within the community and by community organisations. This would suggest that the strategy to engage with the community through community organisations was a successful one. 11 recommendations were co-developed with the expert advisory group, including the formation of a national LGBTQ+ health strategy, further investment in sexual health infrastructure, equity and inclusion audits of public health strategies amongst others.

Laying the stepping stones towards UDL
2022-04-27, Gilmore, John, Browne, Freda, Halligan, Philomena
Active learning focuses on what students are ‘doing’ in the learning process. It often represents a shift of energies from the lecturer ‘doing/telling’ to students actively engaging in meaningful tasks in-class, out of class and or online. Active learning is key to student engagement, motivation and agency in the learning process. This poster depicts the journey of four faculty partners in the rollout of the digital badge in Universal Design for Learning (UDL). This badge was developed for the Forum by AHEAD and UCD Access & Lifelong Learning. 15 academics from the School of Nursing, Midwifery & Health Systems and School of Puplic Health and Sports Science participated in the course over 10 weeks.
