Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:

An online approach will be utilised within this module, which means that there will be a combination of asynchronous and timetabled online learning opportunities. This will include interactive online activities, tutorials and lectures. Materials and activities will be provided via a virtual learning environment to supplement and compliment your learning within lectures and tutorials. Lectures will be recorded, enabling you to access these via your virtual learning environment.

Within scenario-based learning activities you will develop insight into the assessment of individuals and the skills associated with this. Using your communication skills you will conduct a patient assessment to inform care planning and nursing intervention. (LO1).

You will examine assessment results in order to identify functional changes of altered health, which will enable you to consider the impact these have on the health and well-being of the individual (LO2).
You will explore the evidence base, including clinical guidelines, which inform and direct care delivery (LO3). In addition the core principles of pharmacology will be explored and the impact of the use of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions as part of adult nursing care will be examined (LO4).
You will discuss working co-productively with individuals and carers to inform person centred care (LO5).
