Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
There will be a blended approach to the teaching and learning in this module. Nursing students will work within set tutorial groups and explore the professional and values base for healthcare (LO 1 & 2). The scenarios used will generate broad discussion around the role of health professionals in protecting others, ensuring safety in health care settings and promoting good practice by the use of available evidence and policy drivers (LO 2 & 3). Personal health and wellbeing will be explored to enable students to identify individual strategies that support student resilience and self-awareness. The use of reflective accounts will enhance communication skills, emotional intelligence and promote self-development (LO 4 & 5).

Formative Assessment:
An asynchronous on-line debate in week 6 will explore contemporary key professional debates in nursing.

Summative Assessment:

Provide a critical review of the concept of professional practice and reflect on your current knowledge, skills and attributes in relation to this. An essay of 3,500 words will be submitted in week 15.
