The module links to practice learning period 7. You will undertake study related to the underpinning theory around common practical skills related to adult 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 and demonstrate an understanding of evidence-based practice and practical skills that are required to fulfil the role of the adult nurse.
