Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:

LTA Approach:
Teaching will be delivered by the Lecturer Practitioner, Senior Nursing and Allied Health Professionals, and Consultants and Senior Medical Staff from Lothian University Hospitals Division incorporating knowledge of how other professionals work.
Lectures, tutorials and seminars and workshops will be utilised. Seminars will utilise a learning set plan which encourages peer group discussion, reflective practice and problem solving (LOs 1,2 & 3). The face to face lectures utilise problem based case studies and quizzes as well as traditional lectures (LO1,2,3). Workshops encourage the use of hands on practice (LO 4). Experiential learning in the clinical environment will incorporate completion of clinical competencies and be supported by a facilitator (LO 4,5). These activities will link to all of the learning outcomes.
Following from the practical workshops, students can obtain formative feedback via an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). This OSCE will use simulated patients to reflect the 'real' clinical environment. Formative feedback will be given though a debrief session with experienced observers.


Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills:
Development of crticial appraisal and reflection skills. Enhancement of information literacy skills. Application of team work skills including negotiation, analytical and thinking skills, communication and presentation skills. Opportunity for networking and appreciation of multidisciplinary roles and contribution
The module learning outcomes have been aligned to band 5/6 of the aganda for change knowledge and skills framework

Assessment:
Following from the practical workshops, students can obtain formative feedback via an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). This OSCE will use simulated patients to reflect the 'real' clinical environment. Formative feedback will be given though a debrief session with experienced observers. There will be a final summative portfolio assessment in week 30. The elements contributing to the portfolio will include reflective essays, practical exam (OSCE) and clinical competencies. In order to pass the portfolio students must pass each component of the assignment. Students will be advised that the word limit is 3500-4000 words. An essay assignment at week 15 will contribute towards 30% of the total module marks and the module team will provide students with formative feedback on a draft essay. The face to face teaching will provide the necessary theory component for completion of the practical competencies, thus allowing students to apply theory to practice.

Research/teaching linkages:
Evidence based teaching through lectures and workshop activities supports development of research and evidence based learning. Evidence based healthcare is promoted by embedding best practice statements, guideliines, protocols and research into the module content to support evidence based practice.

Supporting equality and diversity:
Additional support is given to students with special needs and international students. Special needs are assessed individually and appropriate support provided.

Internationalisation:
Exposing students to international literature.

For the purposes of University Academic Regulations this module is defined as a SNMSC theory module

What you will learn and what this module is about:

You will learn about the theory and evidence relating to orthopaedic trauma, elective surgery, and related musculoskeletal conditions. Aspects of patient education, support of the patient and their family will also be covered. You will learn how to apply a range of splints, traction, and basic casting care. Teaching will be delivered by the Lecturer Practitioner, Senior Nursing and Allied Health Professionals and Consultants and Senior Medical staff from Lothian University Hospitals Division incorporating knowledge of how other professionals work. WebCT will provide module administration information. You are expected to identify a suitable mentor to provide support and help apply theory in the clinical environment

Description of module content:

Definitions, guidelines and underpinning literature relating to orthopaedic conditions and diagnosis. Anatomy and pathophysiology related to orthopaedics including musculoskeletal trauma and types of arthritis. The principles of orthopaedic nursing care and treatment related to fracture, joint replacement soft tissue injury and spinal injury/ surgery. The specific nursing care related to elective and trauma surgery including the patient care pathway. The complications of orthopaedic surgery including infection. The pathophysiology and care relating to bone tumours. The principles of splinting and plastering techniques including traction. Working effectively in the multidisciplinary team; applied communication skills and the role of patient education.

Learning Outcomes for module:

LO1: Critically examine the evidence which underpins orthopaedic nursing practice and patient care pathways

LO2: Discuss how an evidence based approach can improve the management of patient care in orthopaedic surgery

LO3: Critically reflect on strategies that allow the information, education and support needs of the patient and their family to be met

LO4: Apply correctly a range of splinting, traction, orthotic devices and plastering techniques

LO5: Apply theoretical knowledge to practice safely and effectively within the multidisciplinary team
