Abstract:This article explores how nurse academics in one British university uphold and role model the humanising framework developed by Todres et al (2009). It gives a brief overview of nurse education in the UK. Next it outlines the nature of the personal tutor role. It then offers an overview of the humanising framework, its background and embodiment in the undergraduate nursing curriculum. It explores how nurse academics role model humanisation and how this influences and impacts on students’ ability to live and apply the humanising dimensions of nursing to enhance patients’ lived experience of care. It concludes with examples of how this encourages positive meaningful relationships between students and tutors.
