Katie Schraders Doctor of Philosophy Overall, Massey was an excellent gateway for me landing my role at Nestle and I think the strong workforce connections Massey disposes to its students, in all areas of nutrition and dietetics, is an appealing point of difference compared to other universities. This position is a lot like being a teacher, because it requires planning, organization, a lot of contact with parents, fundraising, as well as skills like flexibility, creativity, and energy. I love Guiding because I enjoy exposing my girls to things they may have not otherwise known- such as building a fire, learning how to code, and about.

Students use their initiative and available resources to drive their learning, not simply relying on or following teacher directions. CRP11 – Use technology to enhance productivity. Example of Use within the Unit: Use recording/notation software. CRP12 – Work productively in teams while using cultural global competence. Teacher portfolios highlighted their accomplishments, educational philosophies and community involvement. Porfirio was selected after being interviewed by a committee that included representatives of professional and educational associations, the business community of Virginia, and 2013 Virginia Teacher of the Year Kathryn B.

Despite being crowned Nursing Times’ most inspirational nurse leader award in 2015 and winning the elderly care award in 2013, Wendy Mashlan very nearly missed out on being a nurse altogether.

“I didn’t have aspirations to become a nurse when I was younger,” she says. “But my mother became ill and I was incredibly inspired by the nurses on her ward.”

Ms. Mashlan went on to qualify in 1994 and by 2000 she was a ward manager. When the role of nurse practitioner was created in 2002 a colleague encouraged her to apply and today she leads a team of 14 at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, part of the Abertawe Bro Morgannwyg University Health Board (ABMU).

Her work is primarily focused on elderly care, a field of nursing she believes is “often seen as negative, but it is actually one of the most challenging areas.”

Wendy explains that her patients often have multifaceted needs. “It takes a certain kind of person to work with the elderly,” she says. “ But I enjoy the challenge of dealing with many different needs, helping the patient cope and supporting the people caring for them.”

In addition to her clinical management role, Ms. Mashlan is also involved in research and teaching in the hospital and at university. She has been involved in developing a number of national policies including portfolio guidelines for the National Leadership and Innovation Agency, and RCN Safeguarding for Adults. Recent innovations have included an ANP-led elderly care ward referral system.

The Inspirational Nursing Leaders Award is awarded yearly to professionals who are selected for the impact of their work on nursing policy, practice or care; their influence on and understanding of how health and social care fit together; the sustainability of their achievement and the extent to which they act as role models for others. Many are nominated by Nursing Times readers and the final list is compiled by a panel of expert judges.

Wendy says of her two awards, “they raise the profile of what we do” but declares “one would have been enough!” She was awarded them for her help in running a specialist assessment service for older people arriving at the Bridgend hospital’s emergency department and for her current work as Lead Advance Nurse Practitioner. More recently Wendy has helped develop schemes such as the Frail Older Persons Assessment Tool (FOPAT).

This was developed following the publication of the Andrew Report: “Trusted to Care” in 2014 that identified poor documentation of the care of elderly patients among other issues at ABMU. It is designed to cut through unnecessary documentation and concentrate instead on the actual needs of each patient.

Other improvements on the wards at ABMU include increasing the number of baths for patients. Staff amended shift patterns to free up more time and are now able to bathe up to five patients daily. Also introduced was a hostess system, where hostesses serve food and thereby leave more time for nurses to help patients who struggle to eat unaided. Nurses and healthcare support workers are also freer to sit with patients in the day room, encouraging activities such as games and jigsaws.

Social events for patients, such as afternoon teas, and inviting live musicians to play have been organised by Wendy and other nurses at the Prince of Wales hospital; all designed to help patients feel more comfortable and at home.

Wendy is not resting on her laurels however, and still thinks more could be done to support an aging population.

“I’d like to see more services that support patients in their own home, she says. “We should be building more resources in the community and increasing community involvement.”

Ms. Mashlan is motivated by the fact that the growing needs of an aging population look to be one of the main challenges of the health service in the coming decades.

When asked how she balances her work with a PhD; on the impact of AMD in early engagement with the elderly and currently in its fifth and final year, Wendy responds “I’m just married to it now… you’ve just got to be focused.”

Once she finishes her PhD however she admits she would like to head towards a consultant nurse post, but for now, “I absolutely love my role.”

Meet our students

Massey has prepared me for a life beyond school. My degree has qualified my passion for sport into a prosperous profession in coaching, teaching, leading and managing sport teams.

Once I started studying at Massey I knew I had made the right choice for me and I never considered going anywhere else for my postgraduate degree. A lot of this was thanks to the lecturers who understood my passion for football and provided opportunities for me to work in the sport.

With its caring lecturers who want you to succeed, varied practical placements and industry contacts, I would certainly recommend choosing Massey. The variety of placements made me realise how many career opportunities there are for dietitians, giving me a taste of what it’s like to work in different fields.

If you are interested in learning about utilising nutritional science to improve one’s wellbeing, this is the degree for you!

I decided to take the physical education major as I knew I wanted to be a teacher...The sport and exercise degree has given me a head start in my teaching career.

I chose Massey University due its known leadership in the area of food and nutrition. I am particularly interested in how nutrition can be utilised for health and wellbeing during infancy and older age. This is due to the vulnerability of these age groups to nutrition-related diseases.

I have really enjoyed my experience studying at Massey University. All of the staff and lecturers are super friendly, supportive and dedicated to helping students, such as myself, succeed.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time studying at Massey and have been extremely fortunate to have been taught and supervised by some of the leading lecturers in the field of physical education and coaching.

I would recommend studying at Massey University due to the high level of support, guidance and valuable expertise from staff from both the academic and practical placement setting. I am now in a career where I feel I am making a true difference to the nutrition and health of the community.

Studying extramurally at Massey University enabled me to pace my study within other commitments and gave me access to experienced supervisors. I could largely independently pace my work providing I stayed within our set timelines. The knowledge I gained has contributed largely to my governance and director roles.

I have really enjoyed studying at Massey and the Sport Science staff have always been extremely supportive throughout my time here. Massey has also presented many opportunities for internships and work experience which have proved to be invaluable learning experiences for me.

Studying these subjects (Physiology and Human Nutrition) has given me the opportunity to meet and be taught by some of the most inspiring and intelligent people I have ever (and possibly will ever) meet. The teaching staff on the Palmerston North campus are wonderful and caring.

Overall, Massey was an excellent gateway for me landing my role at Nestle and I think the strong workforce connections Massey disposes to its students, in all areas of nutrition and dietetics, is an appealing point of difference compared to other universities.

The lecturers were incredibly supportive and always extremely helpful. Massey University has an excellent reputation and provides the skills that I wanted to learn.

I love working in the lab environment. Studies in sport science at Massey University gives me the opportunity to work in various different lab environments and work with people across multiple different disciplines such as nutrition and physiology. It also helps build towards my progression as an academic as I have the opportunity to teach and interact with students at various levels of study.

Studying is commonly seen as a chore and nobody like chores, but at Massey they go the extra step to help create an enjoyable, family-like environment. Just like any family you have ups and downs but when all is said and done, they are there for you.

Had I done my PhD somewhere other than Massey, I don’t think it would have been as exciting or successful. I was given a lot of flexibility, and my supervisors were really supportive, and I’m really grateful for that.

The highlight of my career is working as the Health and Nutrition Manager for World Vision in the Nepal earthquake response. The work was so fast-paced and dynamic. The team I had the pleasure to work with was incredible. I got to trek into health facilities in extremely remote areas of Nepal with views people would pay thousands of dollars for.

The outstanding facilities and excellent staff members at Massey enabled me to further develop my skills and fulfil my passion for sports and exercise.

I am really glad I made the decision to study the Bachelor of Sport and Exercise (Exercise Prescription) at Massey University. I thoroughly enjoyed my three years and feel very privileged to have been taught by such fantastic lecturers who have prepared me well for a career in exercise prescription.

I am interested in discovering a simple way to cure or prevent diseases, especially the chronic diseases we are facing nowadays. Nutrition is one of the possible approaches—it could bring benefits to all people.

Massey University ensures you don’t get lost in the crowd, with staff who see you as more than just a number. The area of nutrition and dietetics is constantly evolving, it’s great having a variety of guest lecturers to share their knowledge and experience. Balanced with practical exposure, Massey helps you feel ready for the next step after graduation.

I have met so many like-minded people, all of which share a passion for sport like I do. The resources and equipment available to students is of the highest order, and the workload is made to be very manageable. I chose to study at Massey because it offered the best sport and exercise degree in the country. This, along with the beautiful campus and two nearby golf courses is what influenced my decision to study here.

I totally enjoy my PhD research topic as it is something very relevant to human health and wellness, and I hope I will be able to make some progress in the field of diabetes treatment during the course of my study by implementing nutrition in the diet.
