Dr John Knight is Associate Professor in Biomedical Science within the College Of Human and Health Sciences at Swansea University. For the last 20 years he has taught Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology on a wide variety of professional degree and diploma programmes including: Health and Social Care, Paramedic Science, Nursing and Midwifery. John′s first degree is in microbiology; additionally he holds a Ph.D. in immunology and has over 50 published articles in peer reviewed journals. His teaching at Swansea University has recently been recognized by the presentation of a Distinguished Teaching Award; John has a variety of research interests including the evolution of immune responses, the physiological effects of ageing and immobility and the use of Virtual Reality simulations in the teaching of Anatomy and Physiology. Dr Yamni Nigam is a Professor in Biomedical Science (anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, teaching to a wide range of health professionals including nurses and paramedics. Her specialist subjects include digestion, blood, immunology, microbiology, parasitology, wounds (infection and healing) and maggot therapy. Yamni graduated from Kings College, London and undertook a Master’s degree in Applied Parasitology and Medical Entomology at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. After successful completion of her doctorate, Yamni was offered a lectureship teaching anatomy and physiology at Swansea University. In 2001, she set up the Swansea University Maggot Research Group, focusing on scientific investigations of the medicinal maggot and its role in wound healing. Her love of human A&P has persisted and she continues to write articles to support the learning of these subjects for all health professionals. Yamni is an author of over 75 peer reviewed articles, book chapters and papers. After qualifying as a nurse, Dr Jayne Cutter worked in surgery and intensive care before becoming a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Infection Control. She spent 15 years in this post before leaving the NHS and joining Swansea University as a lecturer. Jayne’s research interests include infection control and pedagogy. Although interested in all aspects of infection prevention and control, Jayne has a particular interest in factors influencing compliance. In 2009 she gained a PhD following a study entitled “Factors influencing sustaining and reporting inoculation injuries in healthcare professionals undertaking exposure prone procedures”. In April 2015, Jayne was appointed as the Head of the Department of Nursing at Swansea University and became a professor in 2019. She has been closely involved in developing the new curriculum at Swansea to meet the new NMC Standards for pre-registration nursing programmes. Jayne currently chairs the all Wales Pre-Registration Nursing and Midwifery Group and has contributed to the development of all Wales documentation to support the new NMC standards.
