Overview
This part-time 30-credit work-based module is available for registered nurses. It can be studied as part of a programme leading to a Postgraduate Diploma or MSc, or as a standalone module.
This module aims to:
- Support learning towards the achievement of competencies, for nurses practising in extended or advanced roles within their specified area of practice
- Help students to develop and apply advanced decision-making skills
Competencies will be negotiated within the student's clinical area and achievement of these competencies will be supported by a clinical supervisor and an academic supervisor.
This module is subject to having a viable number of students to run.
Entry requirements
This course is open to applicants who hold a statutory nursing qualification and current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
Applicants will normally have completed a first degree or equivalent, and be working towards an extended nursing role.
All students must have access to clinical practice for the duration of the course.
What you will study
This module is provided as part of this interdisciplinary Framework within the Faculty of Health Studies. The Framework enables students to create an individualised programme of study that will meet either their needs and/or the employers’ needs for a changing diverse workforce within a modern organisation.
The modules and academic awards are presented in areas representing employment practice or work based or clinical disciplines.
Whilst some students can build their own academic awards by choosing their own menu of module options, other students will opt for a named academic award. The Framework also provides the option for students to move from their chosen named award to another award if their job or personal circumstances change and they need to alter the focus of their studies. The majority of named awards also offer students, the option of choosing at least one module, sometimes more, from across the Faculty module catalogue enabling them to shape their award more specifically to their needs.
