Summary of content This module is a work-based learning format that follows on from completion of relevant assessment and management module to facilitate application of advanced practice skills in a real-world setting. Placement time is undertaken in relevant areas of advanced practice to the student’s role and is intended to engage the learner in reflective practice by collating evidence of learning via a portfolio submission. The content of the portfolio and development of specific evidence and content will be dictated by the students identified learning needs; this may also align with employer needs for students who are sponsored by an organisation.
Module details Syllabus arrow_forward The syllabus of work is determined by the identified learning needs and compiled by the student with assistance from relevant parties, e.g. Their employer, professional practice supervisor and the module leader. The portfolio should align to the 4 pillars of advanced practice by evidencing their development in theoretical, practical and professional knowledge. For students wishing to attain achievement of competency to practice in their defined area of study, the syllabus must include a defined set of criteria and a clear pathway of learning that meets the service and/or professional award requirements.
Learning outcomes arrow_forward On successful completion of this module, students should be able to: 1. Analyse their own learning needs in relation to their professional area of advanced practice. 2. Negotiate and agree learning outcomes and practice experiences with relevant supervisors and employer (if required). 3. Complete the relevant portfolio of practice to evidence achievement of a wide range of learning across advanced practice. 4. Critically reflect on their professional development with reference to case specific learning. Specific learning outcomes for the placement experiences will be dictated by learner needs (employer needs) and documented via the relevant portfolio templates (learner contracts, competency matrix, evidence mapping).
Teaching / learning strategy arrow_forward All key learning and placement activities are taken at a distance from campus with supportive tutorials at the beginning of the module to aid students' autonomy of practice. Learning will be predominantly work based (in the workplace, for the workplace, from colleagues and peers) which will require students to be largely self-directed and able to identify their own support needs. The on campus supportive tutorials will focus on identification of learning needs and development of learner contracts to support practice-based learning. How to complete the portfolio and utilising central electronic platforms (e.g. TURAS) to collate and share evidence of learning. One session will focus on the critical reflection requirement with input from the academic development team and librarians.
Transferrable skills arrow_forward Participation in this module will enable the student to develop transferable skills associated with Masters level study including: • Work in a self-directed manner, taking responsibility for own learning and personal development and where appropriate clinical competence • Develop study and IT skills to underpin effective learning. • Develop knowledge and understanding in the context of a subject, which can be transferred within different clinical contexts. • Demonstrate: critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a range of situations. • Develop communication skills, written, oral, listening, and presentational. • Underpin professional practice through the integration of theory with practice. • Reflection on practice and reflection in practice. • Structuring of professional development activities. • Depth of practice knowledge.
