GCU celebrated 20 years of RAM!

Celebrating 20 Years of the RAM Module – Recognition for ACAP committee members. 

 

ACAP committee is proud to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Recognition and Management of the Acutely Unwell Adult (RAM) module at Glasgow Caledonian University – a programme that has been a cornerstone of advanced practice education for two decades.

 

At the event, Chair of ACAP Dr Oswald and committee member, Victoria Campbell, RAM module leaders, were recognised for their pivotal role as an educators within the RAM programme. Their contribution has been vital in developing advanced practice education and supporting the next generation of clinical leaders.

 

Joining the celebrations were past alumni, regional senior nurses from the west of Scotland Advanced Practice Academy, senior academics from Glasgow Caledonian University and Dr Mark Cooper, previous course leader. Medical colleagues have also been pivotal to the courses success.  Many senior medical professionals including Dr Donaldson and Course Medical Director – Dr Drew Smith – Consultant Anaesthetist, NHSGGC were recognised for their significant contribution.

 

👏 Congratulations to all, on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you to all of our ACAP members who continue to champion education, research, and high-quality patient care!
