Teaching / learning strategy arrow_forward A blended approach to learning and teaching that engages students in the knowledge, understanding and skills required for advanced practice will be adopted. Enquiry based learning approach will be used to underpin the approach to learning and assessment with scenarios of an increasingly challenging and complex nature. Fixed resource sessions will provide pertinent information to assist understanding and resolution of care problems. Clinical simulation laboratory activities will provide the opportunity to learn/practice selected skills required for safe practice in the clinical area, under teacher supervision/instruction. Student led seminars will enable in-depth exploration of professional challenges and issues e.g. accountability, communication. Students will be provided with on-going feedback on performance/skill development during clinical simulation sessions, on formative written work and during case management scenarios. Additionally, under the guidance of a clinical supervisor, students will have the opportunity to engage in practice based learning activities to support their skills development. This module has been constructed to meet service requirements regarding advanced clinical practice and the care of acutely unwell patients, therefore this is reflected in the nature of the assessment strategies which underpin learning and assessment'.
