Module description

This module prepares students to participate in practice-based learning, reasoning and decision-making to deliver person-centred care. Students will develop confidence and competence in the range of enhanced nursing proficiencies and nursing procedures.

Students will develop and demonstrate emergent leadership, collaborating with service users and other professions to make decisions about how person-centred care is provided to an individual or small group of people.

Module aims

This module enables students to integrate knowledge, evidence and a diverse range of enhanced proficiencies to deliver safe, effective, person-centred care with minimal guidance and contribute to decision-making in collaborative practices with other professions, service users and citizens.

Module learning outcomes

1. Select and implement context-appropriate person-centred assessment strategies to develop nursing care plans for commonly encountered mental, physical, behavioural and cognitive health conditions.

2. Undertake detailed risk assessments, using a range of contemporary assessment and improvement tools.

3. Select and implement context-appropriate person-centred care interventions, providing and evaluating care for commonly encountered mental, physical, behavioural and cognitive health conditions.

4. Demonstrate proficiency in the full range of routine investigations and procedures, interpreting, sharing and escalating findings and make decision critically regarding appropriate person-centred interventions.

5. Provide compassionate end of life and palliative care to people who are dying; respectful and dignified care to people who have died; and supportive care and emotional support to those who are bereaved and grieving.

6. Compare and critically analyse sources of evidence from research, policy and people, using critical reflection to acknowledge uncertainty and select appropriate approaches to planning and evaluating care.

7. Use fundamental and more advanced pharmacological knowledge to calculate dosages, to prepare and administer both routine and less familiar medications via common routes, recognising indications, contra-indications, reactions and side effects.

Learning and teaching methods

Placement: Students will work under direct and indirect 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’ reflective capabilities and engage them in thinking more critically about the sources of evidence they use to inform and justify their practice. Group tutorials will be used to explore the roles and responsibilities of other professions, applied to specific cases from the students’ own experiences, and consider the complexities of working in teams. Tutorials will also offer the students the opportunity to engage in clinical supervision related to optimise their experiential 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 more advanced nursing care. They will also have the opportunity to engage with people with lived experiences to gain insight into their lived experiences of using services, working with nurses and other professionals, and living with conditions.
