London South Bank University (LSBU) has been transforming lives, communities, and businesses for over 120 years. LSBU’s mission ‘to be recognised as an enterprising civic university that addresses real-world challenges’ has paved the way for them to become the largest provider of health and social training in South London and the South East. The School of Nursing and Midwifery at the Institute for Health and Social Care is a leading part of LSBU’s structure and has a network of health professionals including the Peoples Academy (service users) for providing high quality education, training and research that makes a difference. With three campuses, Southwark, Croydon South London and Havering, East London, the School is proud of its state of the art facilities which include interactive skills laboratories with the most recent simulation technology. To integrate our strengths in health-related research, we established a single research centre, the Centre for Applied Research in Improvement and Innovation (CApRII) which comprises 4 research groups. Population Health and Prevention, Ageing, Acute and Long-Term Conditions, Mental Health and Intellectual Disabilities and Workforce Innovation and Professional Education:
