Jason Corner

I'm Jason one of the lecturers at the UEA and course director for the MSc in Mental Health Nursing. Since qualifying as a nurse in 2010 I have worked with older people living with various mental health presentations across a variety of settings; inpatient care, memory assessment in primary, secondary and acute care, mental health liaison in an acute general hospital and as a community mental health nurse.

Throughout my time within clinical practice I was lucky enough to receive awards from the 'Applied Research Collaborations' (formerly CLAHRC). These awards enabled me to complete an MSc in Clinical Research where I undertook a systematic review of post diagnostic counselling in memory services. Following this fellowship, I was awarded a doctoral fellowship by the National Institute of Health Research. My study explored the feasibility of delivering a brief reflective personhood and citizenship workshop to care home staff, in particular exploring the acceptability of the observational measure Dementia Care Mapping. I have also worked with  the THRIVE research group, we investigated the challenges nurses faced whilst working in care homes during COVID19 pandemic.  

I lead on clinical skills within the nursing school, and enjoy creating simulations in which students can safely explore the more complex issues relating to their nursing practice. 

I enjoy running, cycling and paddle boarding and writing short stories for children, the stories are designed to help younger children understand personhood and citizenship in an accessible and hopefully enjoyable format.
