Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
This is a practice based module which runs over trimester 3 of year 2. You will work with practice supervisors who will facilitate appropriate learning experiences and support you to meet the module outcomes and achieve your proficiencies. The learning outcomes of this practice module are informed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council Standards for Proficiency for Midwives (NMC, 2019). You will be supported by your allocated practice supervisors and will be assessed by a practice assessor (LO1-5). You will discuss your individual learning goals with your practice supervisors and/or practice assessor in week 1 of the placement and will receive an interim formative assessment and a final summative assessment (LO 1-5). This will allow you to reflect on the achievement of your learning goals.

While the university has set NESH hours as per this descriptor, the NMC has a requirement that you will work a minimum number of hours per placement. In this case you will work part-time hours in clinical practice (an average of 30 hours per week).
Formative Assessment:
The formative assessment will include an initial orientation and an interim assessment and discussion which provides you with an opportunity to self-assess and gain feedback from your practice supervisors and/or practice assessor. You will also complete an
electronic Midwifery Practice Assessment Document (MPAD) which is an ongoing record of learning and identifies how proficiencies are gained.

Summative Assessment:
The summative assessment comprises of achievement of proficiencies. All clinical proficiencies identified in the electronic MPAD must be achieved (LO 1-5) and are assessed in accordance with identified marking criteria which relates to SCQF Level 8.
