Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Teaching and Learning
This is a practice based module and students will work under the supervision of named mentors who will facilitate appropriate learning experiences and support them to meet the module outcomes and achieve their competencies. The outcomes of this practice module are informed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council standards for pre registration midwifery education and include practice competencies and midwifery essential skills clusters (NMC 2009). All students will be supervised by their own allocated sign-off mentor who will provide guidance and feedback (LO1-5). The outcomes will be examined by evidence of learning in the portfolio work which includes reflection on and in practice (LO 1-5). Students will discuss their individual learning goals with their mentor in week 1 of the placement and will receive an interim formative assessment and a final summative assessment (LO 1-5). This will allow the students to reflect on the achievement of their learning goals.



Formative Assessment:
The formative assessment will include an initial orientation and an interim assessment and discussion which provides the student opportunity to self assess and gain feedback from the mentor. Students also complete a portfolio which is an on-going record of the learning and identifies how competencies are gained.



Summative Assessment:
The summative assessment comprises of achievement and grading of competencies. Practice will be graded in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council regulations implemented 2009. All clinical competencies identified in the practice assessment document must be passed and a mark is awarded in accordance with identified marking criteria which relates to level 9 SCQF (LO 1-4). In relation to the competency of medicine management, students must achieve 100% accuracy in calculating different medicines that may be used to treat women or neonates. This is a statutory requirement and will be assessed in practice by the sign-off mentor(LO5).
