Description of module content:

This module is the second one within the PGCert in Epilepsy Studies, which is provided as an entire programme – module cannot be taken separately. You will complete NUR11128 Exploring Evidence for Clinical Management of the Epilepsies before proceeding to this module.Work Based Learning promotes personal and professional reflection and enables you to enhance critical thinking and practice application of new and developing skills and knowledge. Recognising your own knowledge and awareness of your existing knowledge and areas for development. This module adopts a student-centred approach acknowledging your unique learning needs and styles as an adult learner. The content and delivery are based on your own personal and professional motivation.You will create a Portfolio of Evidence that is aligned to Pillars of Advanced Practice which will support you to incrementally build upon existing skills, knowledge and competence. Within the virtual learning environment (VLE), you will explore clinical practice and competency development, facilitating learning, evidence and its use in research and development and leadership. You will contextualise this to your own clinical practice and substantive role, tailoring the learning and skills development to its use in your real-world practice.You will use self-reflection to map your current competence and develop individualised areas for self-development. Quality Improvement methodologies will be applied to epilepsy care outcomes, again in the context of your own practice, to develop a QI proposal.Evaluation, exploration and application of reflective frameworks and models will help you to pause and reflect at key points during the module, then subsequently provide a written critical reflection, on your own development and action plan for continued professional development.This module aims to allow participants to reflect and contextualise the research and best practice indicators on their own role, personal and professional development. In this way, learners from a wide variety of clinical practice areas can translate their learning and improvements in knowledge, understanding and competence into development of clinical practice.

Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Critically appraise relevant literature that informs the care and treatment of people with the epilepsies, in the context of your own clinical practice.

LO2: Synthesize evidence from the literature and current clinical practice to identify and rationalise an area of practice development

LO3: Propose and plan an epilepsy focused service improvement underpinned by Quality Improvement methodology.

LO4: Critically reflect on your professional development and the impact of this on your clinical practice in relation to the management of epilepsies .
