Learning Outcomes:
On successful completion of the module the student should be able to:-
1. Critically explore organisational, leadership and management skills required to support planning and delivery of high quality nursing care in a variety of contexts.
2. Demonstrate a critical understanding and use appropriate leadership and management skills to facilitate safe and effective person centred care in a variety of settings.
3. Demonstrate a critical understanding of pharmacology and pathophysiology in the evidence based treatment of deteriorating patients, and emergency situations, in a variety of settings.
4. Appraise the professional, ethical and legal issues associated with managing care provision.
5. Analyse and evaluate the role of the registered nurse in leading and managing effective teams to plan and deliver care with increasing complexity.
6. Critically explore the use of clinical decision-making and assessment tools, including technology, in the provision of holistic care of a deteriorating patient.
Lecturers, service partners, users, carers and students will contribute to the authenticity of the teaching and learning experience using case-based scenarios. Following the spiral curriculum some previously explored concepts will be related to more complex patients and scenarios. The care of a selection of patients will be explored in relation to underpinning pharmacology and pathophysiology.
Learning and teaching strategies will enhance student engagement, accessibility, flexibility and personalisation of the curriculum through the use of technology/digital learning where appropriate.
Teaching approaches will include a variety of methods which may include lectures, tutorials, workshops, role play, reflective exercises, guided reading and online learning, simulation and other practical activities.
Guided and self-directed study, including interactive resources supported by a virtual learning environment, will be used to prepare students for each week's activities and assist in consolidation of their learning.
