From the short 6 weeks we've done, it's clear that you have created a wonderful safe space for people to be themselves and nurture their wonderful ideas. I love the blue-sky ideas' element. I really feel this module should be merged into a nursing degree or any healthcare-related profession. Nurses, in particular, in our daily workloads are improvising to improve patient care if we don't have the necessary equipment or product to hand. We adapt to our environment. What I find interesting is the number of people who say 'I'm not creative', people just need to be armed with the skills to do so. This module has ignited my ever-curious mind. So, thank you all for providing an interesting module.
