Leeds Metropolitan University introduced second year pre-registration nursing adult and mental health students to AW MDCS in 2005 as a pilot. Their evaluation of the software was extremely positive:

‘I found it helpful because it gives you a step by step way to do the calculations.’

‘Easier to understand than a book.’

Based on this successful pilot Leeds Met pre-registration nursing students now receive the package through their MLE in their first year. Students are required to complete a portfolio of evidence which includes the self assessments throughout their course and are required to pass the on-line examination in their final year prior to registration.

The best thing about “Authentic World” for me is its rationale of helping to ensure patient safety. The second is its accessibility which allows students to work at their own pace encouraging independent self directed learning that they actually enjoy! Finally, this then allows lecturers time to be used more creatively and effectively.

10 out of 10 from me!

I think it would really benefit some of us students who are rather worried about this subject.

A brilliant idea , it looks ideal and a very helpful way to learn all about drug calculations.

Students, Robert Gordon University.
