Learning and teaching methods

Placement: Students will work under the supervision of a range of practice supervisors who have been prepared for this role and their learning will be overseen by Practice Learning Coordinators in the placement setting. Link lecturers and practice educators from the University will provide support to students and placement providers. Tutorials: Tutorial-based methods will nurture students’ literacy, numeracy and research capability. Tutorials will also introduce students to the support and opportunities available to them during placement and introduce the documentation and processes that support practice-based learning. Simulated practice: University-based learning will primarily take place through simulation to fully prepare students to participate in the procedures, proficiencies and practices of fundamental nursing care. They will also have the opportunity to engage with people with lived experiences to gain insight into their experiences and practise fundamental communication and collaboration.
