Facilitating inclusivity in nursing practice.

There is growing evidence of inequality and discrimination in nursing practice, with significant systemic and institutional exclusion.

When students and staff nurses were asked what equity, diversity, and inclusion looked like from their perspective, they replied to awareness, the practicality of EDI strategies, policies and procedures, university procedures, and realistic actions. In response and aligning with the theme of future curriculum and the call for a more inclusive nursing practice following the 2024 Nursing and Midwifery report; This project aims to practicalize inclusivity in nursing practice by addressing the roots, which is 'Nursing Education'. This project focuses on the nursing curriculum, and clinical environment by tackling standard and unintentional exclusion and bias through the utilization of a co-produced innovative  storytelling of lived experiences with the focus on race, ethnicity, neurodiversity and  disability to facilitate an intentionally inclusive and accessible curriculum. This consequently improves student experience while also supporting staff to  be their best in providing a high quality diverse education and improving inclusive practice in clincal practice.
