Mike has been invited to teach post grads.

We don't know if any undergraduate degrees currently include a module on spirituality/whole person care.

Annie and Fiona have had sessions with medical students talking about the role of chaplains.  Could nursing students be included?

I wondered about whether a session at the VTS might be an option-teaching a wider group of GP trainees, happens on a thursday afternoon at selly oak.  Deanery also run one day 'curriculum days' for all west mids GP trainees.  May be able to run a seminar at one of those?

How to get whole person care into the mainstream curriculum?

I do not think that Spirituality is included in the curriculum. The area we include it in is the community care slot under bereavement and mental health. As to nurses training I think this would be good. I speak to nurses on an individual basis and they refer to me.
