Financial Statements 2019/2020


OUR FRONTLINE RESPONSE


Around 500 MDX Nursing and Midwifery students worked on the frontline, in hospitals and other healthcare settings.


Second and third year students were able to choose whether to continue their placements, and whether to opt in to the government’s emergency register, ready to be called on if the health service was struggling to cope. Trainee Nursing Associate apprentices continued their work in their Trusts as healthcare assistants, and first year students could volunteer as healthcare assistants through the Capital Nurse programme. In total, 96 first year students have volunteered for this important work.


Our Department of Adult, Child and Midwifery was already working in the NHS to provide continuing professional development (CPD) and upskill staff in key clinical skills. But demand increased rapidly with the coronavirus. Our staff worked with policy makers and the Nursing and Midwifery Council on a daily basis to devise what was necessary and drew up rapid programmes to upskill those returning to practice.


Middlesex staff also supported a project by the Tavistock Clinic which pulled together wellbeing resources for health and social care staff facing extremely challenging working conditions. These were to support staff to learn new skills, such as personal care of patients who died from suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Our students and our CPD work features in Universities UK’s #WeAreTogether social media campaign showcasing how universities have been helping the fight against the pandemic.


Producing equipment for NHS


Our staff produced nearly 70,000 protective visors for NHS employees at London hospitals, using the University’s six laser cutters, which ran up to nine hours a day, seven days a week. Staff from the Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries also cut out material for hospital gowns and hundreds of sets of scrubs which were then sent to homeworkers to stitch together. We worked with the local London Fire Brigade based at Hendon Fire Station who helped to pick up and deliver the personal protective equipment (PPE) we produced.

COLLABORATION WITH THE COMMUNITY


Working alongside Barnet Council and the Barnet Multi-Faith Forum, we helped produce an inspiring video showing how local faith groups have been supporting the community during the pandemic.


Vice-Chancellor Nic Beech contributed to the film, which involved several other staff members and was edited by Jakub Holub, a third year BA Film student.


While teaching had moved online, we looked for ways to make our campus useful to the community. The Nations Africa Centre charity used campus space to distribute food parcels to local families. We joined a Free Car Park Finder database and offered free parking to NHS staff, health and social care workers, and volunteer responders, to make their journey to work easier.
