Strengthening nursing
UWISoN was established to meet the needs for specialist nursing personnel including administrators and educators. It is the only tertiary education institution in Trinidad and Tobago that offers specialist training for nurses. The school has been strategically positioned to develop nursing and midwifery professionals with core competencies in seven domains – Nursing Practice; Professional Conduct; Health Promotion and Maintenance of Wellness; Nursing Leadership and Management; Communication; Clinical Decision Making and Intervention; and Professional Development. The programme’s core focus, therefore, is the development of competent practitioners. |
On May 13, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal of The UWI St. Augustine, Professor Clement Sankat was joined by the Honourable Dr. Fuad Khan, Minister of Health, Senator The Honourable Fazal Karim, Minister of Tertiary Education and Skills Training, to formally launch The UWI School of Nursing (UWISoN), located in the Academy of Nursing and Allied Health in El Dorado.
