Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module is an introduction to the role of the veterinary nurse. LOs1-4; each taught element of the module uses a variety of teaching methods, including face-to-face lectures, discussion, independent research, individual/paired and group work to provide the underpinning knowledge required within veterinary diagnostic services. The VLE will be used to provide further reading material, independent student led tasks, quizzes and revision tests relating to course material covered in class. Practical skills workshops (LOs 1-4) will utilise demonstration under supervision and peer assessment to engage independent learning, extend engagement with module and development of employability skills. The practical sessions will prepare you for the RCVS day one skills that will be applied within a veterinary clinical setting (subsequent placement modules) and a summative assessment within year 3 of the Programme.

Formative Assessment is defined as: explicit and planned activities that feature throughout a programme, usually within a module. Formative Assessment is not credit-bearing; but its purpose is to provide high quality feedback to you on current knowledge and skills so that you can develop and demonstrate in subsequent summative assessments. You will have the opportunity for formative assessment under the direction of a mentor within a clinical skills environment. This will provide you the opportunity to receive feed-forward on performance. This also requires self-reflection of skills/knowledge and areas for development. This will be recorded in a Clinical Skills Personal Development portfolio (CSPDP) to address skills associated with Los 1-4. This consists of; 1. Practical tasks criteria checklists for Time Limited Practical Examination (TLPE) in year 3 of programme will be use within these sessions with observation and formative guidance on performance. Mock assessments will be provided with a trained assessor.2. Behavioural tool to review development of employability skills within clinical skills sessions3. Self-appraisals following clinical skills sessions to identify individual development areas with personalised action plansWorking formatively within clinical skills develops an awareness of tasks that fall within the remit of a VNs’ role, whilst gaining feed-forward on underpinning knowledge and skills. Preparing you for a clinical environment, where these skills will be assessed by a workplace mentor. Skills demonstrated and practiced are linked to professional discussions of the legal and professional framework, which directly leads into the summative assessment. A 1500word essay that explores the role of the VN in relation to the legal and professional framework.
