Description of module content:

This module focuses on Platform 4 of the NMC Future Nurse Standards (2018), whichcovers Providing and Evaluating Care. The following outcomes from this platform areaddressed [4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17]. Inaddition outcomes from Platforms 6 [6.8] and 7 [7.5, 7.6] are addressed alongsideAnnexe A [3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 2.1] which focuses on communication and relationshipmanagement skills. At the start of the module, you will be presented with a range of case studies developed by experts by experience (service users carers), each of which will give rudimentary details about a person and their condition. The conditions selected will be be drawn from those listed in Annexe A 2.1 (NMC Standards for Proficiency, 2018) and include both primarily physical and mental health conditions [LO 1-2]. You will be asked to ‘sign up’ to a case study, which you will follow for the duration of the module and consequently address in your summative assessment. Each week will focus on core concepts (e.g. pain, nutrition, self-care, wound care, drug therapy, family etc.) * [LO 1-3]. You will critically engage with the evidence underpinning these concepts, then apply this to your chosen case for evaluation and discussion in tutorials [LO 3-4]. You will be given the opportunity to critically engage with and synthesise the wider literature to build a more personalised, field specific, critical and evidence-informed plan of care which will form your summative assessment [LO 1-4].Importantly, this module will enable you to conceptualise the links between physical and mental wellbeing [LO 1-3]. 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. The weekly online work contributes directly to the summative assessment, aiding engagement. This module has been set up to support the development and enhancement of communities of learning in line with a programme focused approach.
