Description of module content:

The aim of this module is to help you to develop your theoretical knowledge and practical skills relating to leadership, management and team working. The module will include theoretical study, practice learning, and simulation of clinical nursing skills and procedures aligned to the Nursing and Midwifery Council's standards for registered nurses.This module spans all three trimesters within the second year of the MSc Nursing (Pre-registration) programme. Each trimester you will undertake one practice learning experience (PLE). PLE 4 in the first trimester will equate to 3 days per week in practice and 2 days in theory. PLE 5 in the second trimester will equate to 4 days per week in practice and one day in theory. During PLE 6 in the third trimester you will be in practice for the equivalent of 5 days per week. To prepare you for your PLE, you will undertake regular periods of theoretical and practical simulated skills learning. Theory and practice learning is complemented by online group tutorials and critical reflection sessions. At the end of the first trimester, a Touch Point week will enable further interaction with your peers and may include sessions delivered by clinical and academic specialists, researchers, interprofessional colleagues, patients and carers. Touch Points may include a range of activities including lectures, workshops, facilitated reflection, cross institutional activities with other students and career development activities.Through engagement with and critical analysis of both key and wider literature, you will build a personalised, field specific and evidence-informed understanding of the module learning outcomes; these will then be critically examined and reflected upon in your formative and summative assessments.
