Skills will be taught using simulation and in skills labs settings. Audio-visual presentations will also be used to enhance/embed these. This module will focus on simulation-based learning to consolidate practical skills developed across year 2 related to common clinical practice scenarios

1. Achieve all proficiencies and outcomes within the practice assessment document (PAD) for part 2 (LO 1, 3). This will include the professional values in practice and the medicines management for this part, these are detailed in the PAD.

2. The Practice Assessor and learner will identify an appropriate episode of direct care involving caring for people with increasing complex health and social care needs (may be a single or a group of individuals depending on the care environment). Professionalism underpins all aspects of the learners' performance (LO 2)

ALL PARTS MUST BE PASSED.

There is a non-compulsory formative episode of care in this PAD that can be used in preparation for the summative assessment.

In addition to the 200 hours theoretical learning, students are required to complete the practical component (240hrs) in line with regulatory body requirements.

This module aims to build your knowledge, experience and skills around children’s nursing care with a specific focus upon practical skills and reflective practice. The module links to practice learning period 6 and the progression into the final year of the course. You will undertake study related to the underpinning theory around common practical skills related to children’s nursing care alongside having the opportunity to develop those practical skills by undertaking simulated practice within the University Skills and Simulation Labs. You will continue to develop an understanding of evidence-based practice and practical skills that are required to fulfil the role of the children’s nurse.
