Description of module content:

This module focuses on Platform 4 of the Nursing and Midwifery Council's standards of proficiency for nurses, providing and evaluating care.At the start of the module, you will be presented with a range of case studies, each of which will give rudimentary details about a person and their condition. The conditions include both physical and mental health conditions. You will be asked to ‘sign up’ to a case study aligned to your chosen field of practice, which you will follow for the duration of the module and consequently address in your summative assessment. This module will enable you to conceptualise and debate the links between physical and mental wellbeing (LO2) and critique interventions designed to support and safeguard people living with commonly encountered mental health conditions (LO1). Each week will focus on core concepts including communication, relationship management, drug therapy (LO3) and the delivery of person-centred, evidence informed care (LO4). You will be given the opportunity to critically engage with and synthesise the wider literature to build a personalised, field specific, critical and evidence-informed plan of care in respect to your chosen case study which will form your summative assessment (LOs 1-4).The weekly tutorials are designed to let you share your learning (and learn from others), and so offer healthy challenge and debate to the work of others. This module has been set up to support the development and enhancement of communities of learning in line with a programme focused approach.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Critique interventions designed to support and safeguard people living with commonly encountered mental health conditions.

Mode of activityLearning & Teaching ActivityNESH (Study Hours)NESH Description
Independent Learning Tutorial 10 During your tutorials you will be facilitated to apply and critically discuss what you have learned during your online self-directed activity. You will learn with colleagues from both within and out with your chosen field of nursing practice as well as with occasional guest speakers. You will be part of a 'community of learning' where you can share your learning and offer and receive support.
Online Guided independent study 186 Principles of student autonomy, self-determination and independent learning underpin the learning and teaching approach in this module which incorporates a 'flipped classroom' approach. This educational approach is designed to model practice by equipping you with the necessary knowledge and skills to take forward independent practice in your future careers. The flipped classroom approach incorporated in this module enables you to engage with concepts informed by evidence prior to tutorials.
Independent Learning Seminar 4 Seminars include an introductory session to the module content, an academic skills session to support the development of your level 11 critical writing, and an assessment 'drop-in' opportunity for you to meet with your module tutors and ask any remaining questions you may have about the summative assessment prior to assessment submission.
