Description
Escape rooms on the learning disability nursing degree are established and are becoming a main feature in teaching nursing at Birmingham City University (BCU). BCU academics in learning disability nursing presented their work last year at Escape Rooms in Education Showcase 2025 on the use of digital escape rooms within nursing academia. Numerous reports have highlighted lack of access to services contributing to avoidable and premature deaths. In addition, there is currently a push to increase and promote the field of learning disability nursing nationwide due to a decrease in numbers of registered nurses in this field. Promotion of this nursing field also includes empowering students and professionals in other fields of nursing to support individuals with a learning disability. We have recently (last week) had our digital escape room live play-tested at the International Escape Room Conference and are delighted to present to you today the live in-person version!This workshop focusses on supporting a service user with a learning disability to get ready to take to hospital and is designed to be an innovative learning experience to support nursing students in all fields of nursing (learning disabilities, adult, child and mental health). This workshop was delivered to regional practice partners in nursing and healthcare.
