This project’s focus is to explore students’, lecturers’ and academic support staffs’ understanding of the value and practice of Academic Integrity in nursing and midwifery undergraduate programmes.

There is sufficient evidence that academic integrity presents challenges to both students and staff; however, these issues may be understood and experienced differently by both parties.

This student-staff partnership will generate obtainable recommendations, some of which will be immediately actionable; for example, a review of the usefulness of student resources and a review of aspects of assessment (staff consistency in messaging). Other recommendations may be implemented as part of programmatic review; for example, learning outcomes and assessment strategy.
