Studying at Southampton I receive all the benefits that a Russell Group university affords in a city which is home to a leading regional trauma centre. Last year I secured a place on the National Junior Leadership Academy, which is a programme that gives leadership training to student nurses. This led to me winning a Cavell Leadership Award. As part of my award I was fortunate to spend the summer working for Jane Cummings, the Chief Nursing Officer for England.” Find out more To discover more about Alex’s story, please visit www.southampton.ac.uk/ hs_alex Join in the conversation: #myambition 8 9 Our graduates CHOOSE SOUTHAMPTON: are targeted by the Become top 100 Become a a student graduate recruiters community ambassador in the country DESIGN YOUR OWN volunteer EDUCATION Excellent Your course is developed and taught by world experts placement partners Your course offers you breadth as well as depth GET AHEAD â As well as attending lectures and seminars, you can access many lectures and learning resources on the move FOR YOUR â We work with you to make programmes more flexible CAREER Network â Employers are actively involved in shaping your degree programme with top Wi-Fi employers at across all our careers fairs campuses 3 million books, journals and reports in Advice our libraries from your 24-HOUR Laboratory personal ACCESS TO study tutor Interactive online discussions VIRTUAL LEARNING 50,000 Meet people e-books from over 130 countries Opportunities to work abroad Our Enabling INNOVATIVE SOCIAL Services provide LEARNING support when you LIFE need it Group Values based project work curriculum that Socialise fits employers’ in our bars expectations and cafés Online Join one of our assessment 200 clubs Patient simulators and societies Research and virtual wards led learning Find out more www.southampton.ac.uk/choice 10 11 OUR PEOPLE Southampton people have a passion to change the world through their DR CATHERINE BOWEN research and collaborations with global partners SENIOR LECTURER Catherine was the first â Our lecturers push the boundaries podiatrist to receive a Chartered of knowledge Scientist Award in 2014 â You are taught differently; our research informs your education â We provide you with a rich curriculum with additional opportunities to broaden your multidisciplinary knowledge â You are involved with important research as it unfolds â We offer you a vibrant culture of partnership and collaboration PROFESSOR DAN BADER in our academic community BIO-ENGINEERING AND TISSUE HEALTH Dan has helped develop a new type of pressure sensor for BETHANY WALKER amputees which could prevent dangerous sores DR WENDY WIGLEY NURSING STUDENT DIRECTOR OF Bethany will join 100 others PROGRAMMES to climb Canada’s 3,363 Wendy has been given the prestigious title of metre Mount Edith Cavell Queen’s Nurse by community nursing charity in August 2015 The Queen’s Nursing Institute.

There could be more than 70 million people with dementia worldwide by 2030 - that’s according to Alzheimer’s Disease International. As a result, healthcare services need to make rapid progress in treating this often misunderstood condition. By way of response, Health Sciences researchers from Occupational Therapy have established strong links between cognitive deterioration and low amounts of mental stimuli. To do this they used a snoezelen room, which is a tranquil, multi-sensory space full of lights, images, sounds and shapes. One of the leaders of the research, Dr. Lesley Collier, said: The cognitive deterioration we see in people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias is not just due to the decline of the brain, it is also due to the environment around the person. “We have found that by modifying the amounts of stimuli that people are bombarded with on a day-to-day basis and adjusting the sensory input to meet sensory need, Alzheimer’s symptoms can appear less.” Dr. Collier then added: “It is important to me that my research is translated into practice. Occupational Therapy here is recognised as being at the forefront of the field. As such, Southampton is a prime location to move multi-sensory research into practice.” PREVENTING DETERIORATION Our researchers have found multi-sensory environments can help preserve cognitive and occupational behaviour. GLOBAL IMPACT REDUCING We are working with healthcare organisations around the world DEMENTIA to introduce multi-sensory environments into their SYMPTOMS treatment regimes. Our work focuses on allowing people to practise everyday tasks in controlled environments.
