Abstract: The “Talking Heads” project was commissioned by SALT and was designed to (1) explore 1st year student nurses' attitudes towards Chronic Illness (2) enhance first year student nurses’ application of psychology to nursing by developing video clips where authentic patients relate their illness and health care experiences (3) Evaluate user experiences . The aim of this presentation is to discuss our "project journey" from inception to conception, the organisational and pedagogical challenges we encountered, subsequent user evaluations and our recommendations for the future of “Talking Heads.” We specify the development of the "Talking Head" video clip and the implications of choosing a patient representative via professional organisations, the technological challenges that arose during editing the clips and providing student access , our perceptions of piloting a Talking Head video clip with student nurses, the barriers to gaining student and staff evaluations of the Talking Head video clip via focus groups, individual interviews and online evaluations.We comment upon the tension between creativity and technological knowledge and support, the student and staff evaluations and wider use of patient participation in the education of health professionals
