Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
This module will use a blended approach to learning. Face to face lectures and tutorials will be designed to teach theoretical aspects of learning outcomes (LO1-4). A range of teaching strategies including collaborative group work, practical simulation sessions (LO 2,3) , tutorials and independent learning will encourage you to engage with learning and develop skills and knowledge required to assess,monitor and treat the critically ill and deteriorating patient (LO1-4). As part of the learning experience you will be provided with the opportunity to observe the treatment and management of the people presenting to emergency and critical care in NHS Lothian. Simulation sessions will be faciltated by experts in the field of critical care enabling you to develop your critical care skills within a safe environment.

Formative Assessment:
Students will participate in a formative OSCE, where they will watch each other’s performance and give peer feedback on performance. This will be faciliated by members of the module team. Students will have the opportunity to practice skills on an informal basis by appointment with the clinical skills and simulation centre.

Summative Assessment:
An OSCE to demonstrate the achievement of L01-4, a critical discussion and reflection on the ethical, professional or psychological issues associated with the person who is clinically deteriorating. The critical discussion will be led by 2 members of the module team and will take the form of a semi -structured interview with the student.

As this is a practical assessment, students will be awarded a pass/pass with distinction or fail.

Emergency reintubation, weaning and extubation.
Management of sepsis, acute conorary syndromes, stabilisation and transfer of the person who is clinically deteriorating. You will develop theoretical knowledge to undertake a comprehensive assessment of an acutely unwell patient. You will gain theoretical knowledge to care for a patient within various care settings and you will develop skills required to plan and initiate care and then for interim management of the acutely unwell individual.
The module will promote self-awareness, teamwork and human factors by a combination of tutorials, simulation, clinical observation and self-directed learning.
You will observe clinical practice in a variety of relevant clinical areas within NHS Lothian as part of this module and have the opportunity to participate in clinical skills sessions relating to assessment and transfer of the critically ill person; management of acute coronary syndrome, sepsis and major haemorrhage; and weaning, extubation and emergency reintubation.

Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to:
LO1: Relate pathophysiology to the signs and symptoms of a person who is clinically deteriorating due to common critical care presentations.
LO2: Critically appraise the research evidence and implement a plan of care for initial and interim management of the person who is critically ill.
LO3: Using evidence informed practice, justify interventions relating to stabilisation, monitoring and transfer of a critically ill person.
LO4: Critically reflect on professional, psychological or ethical issues that impact on caring for the person who is clinically deteriorating.
