Description of module content:

This Module explores complex health assessment and intervention. By the end of this Module, you will be able to determine and discuss the rationale for pharmacological and non-pharmacological intervention in relation to addressing complex and changing needs across the lifespan/ages and stages of development (LO2).

You will explore the nursing process to address the complex care needs of your service user group and prioritisation of care planning inclusive of preventative health measures where appropriate (LO1-5).

You will develop an understanding of the evidence base, legal frameworks and clinical best practice guidance that supports clinical decision making and care planning (L03) and how this may be communicated across a range of stakeholders (LO 3-5).
