Module description

This module prepares students to lead, manage and coordinate care during practice-based learning experiences. Students will develop independence in the range of enhanced mental health nursing proficiencies and procedures.

Student will demonstrate critical, reflective and person-centred leadership when working with others, and demonstrate proficiency in managing the complexities and ambiguities of challenging and conflicting episodes of mental health care.

Module aims

This module enables students to critically compare sources of knowledge and evidence, utilise a diverse range of skills and be accountable for leading and coordinating safe, effective, person-centred mental health nursing care with minimal supervision in complex and unpredictable situations.

Module learning outcomes

1. Lead and manage the person-centred care of a group of people, including those who are emotionally or physically vulnerable, and prioritise, delegate and assign care responsibilities to others where appropriate.

2. Critically apply the principles of infection prevention and control when leading care, acting as a role model in communicable disease surveillance and antimicrobial stewardship and resistance in mental health care settings.

3. Demonstrate proficiency, and supervise others effectively in their development, in skilled communication and nursing procedures in person-centred mental health nursing care.

4. Proactively manage the complexities and risks when providing mental, cognitive, behavioural and physical care services across a range of integrated settings, recognising the need for partnership and collaboration between disciplines, settings, sectors and agencies.

5. Independently manage the administration and optimisation of all medications, including intravenous fluids, using a range of devices used in mental health nursing care, retaining the focus on the person-centredness of care at all times.

Learning and teaching methods

Placement: Students will work under minimal, often 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 and critical research capability. Tutorials will also provide opportunities for clinical supervision where students can engage in detailed reflection on incidents and experiences they have encountered in their practice. Tutorials will be supported by nurse practitioners from clinical partners. Simulated practice: University-based learning will primarily take place through simulation to fully prepare students to participate in the procedures, proficiencies and practices of advanced nursing care, managing complex situations independently and in teams. Students will be able to practise approaches to leadership in a safe space. They will also have the opportunity to engage with people with lived experiences to gain insight into their experiences of organisational practices and the value of person-centred leadership.
