Learning the Lessons: Analysing the Creation of a Sustainable, Structured Nursing English Programme in Multiple Nursing Colleges across India
This presentation analysed the development of Nurs-Eng, an English language programme for nurses, delivered to Degree and Diploma level students at nursing colleges across India. The programme was created through SLC’s partnership with EbekMed (part of Ebek), who identified the need for Indian nurses to achieve better levels of professional English for both work and study.
Nurs-Eng consists of standardised 3- and 4-year courses with progress assessed by Cambridge Upskill and OET Pulse. Ebekmed provides face-to-face tuition and SLC provides the curriculum and course materials – all digital and downloadable, so they can be done on any device in any setting.
The presentation looked at why and how the programme was created, the challenges overcome, and what progress students made over the first two years of its delivery.
