This course provides the next level of foundation of nursing studies, developing the student’s study and writing skills, and introducing evidence based practice and the concept of professionalism.

This course provides an introduction to basic nursing skills and the underpinning knowledge. It includes numeracy and basic drug calculations. Students spending time in a supervised clinical setting will be able to practice and develop skills in line with the relevant skills inventory. This practice module includes university-based skill development activities designed to enable students to confidently engage in learning activities whilst on placement.

A working knowledge of the body informs health promotion, exercise and fitness. It is critical to our understanding of what happens when things go wrong with the body, the causes and effects of disease, how diagnoses are reached and treatments decided. A sound knowledge of the disciplines of Anatomy & Physiology, Pathology, Microbiology and Pharmacology are also essential in becoming a knowledgeable, a well informed and effective health practitioner.

This course builds on the concept of the delivery of person- centered nursing practices across all population groups and within a range of clinical areas introduced in the previous practice module. This course continues the students’ development in understanding the importance of effective communication with people with a range of physical and mental health problems across their lifespan. This course aims to prepare the student to actively participate in a range of practice learning environments. It continues to encourage development of the skills and professional behavior necessary to meet health and social care needs across the lifespan introduced in part one. Practice learning is supported by a formative skills inventory. This practice module includes university-based skill development activities designed to enable students to confidently engage in learning activities whilst on placement. This is reflected in the total contact hours for the module. These are designed to prepare students for all practice learning that meets the standards for pre-registration education.

This course acts as an introduction to the key concepts of nursing, allowing students to explore the complex nature of nursing. Students undertake guided independent learning and bring this to group activities in which scenarios are used to facilitate their professional knowledge and development.

This course focuses on person centered practice within the context of nursing. It will achieve this by exploring themes such as health promotion, health inequalities and public health and how these relate to person centered practice.

This course offers opportunities for students to act in an increasingly competent and autonomous manner in clinical placements. The course will include annual mandatory training in CPR, manual handling and numeracy. This course aims to extend the student’s generic and field knowledge and skills through undertaking a range of basic and complex practice learning opportunities. Students will work with less direct supervision to make the most of opportunities to extend knowledge, skills and practice. Practice learning is supported by a formative skills inventory. Enhanced skills are taught in university to prepare students for practice. However, in recognition of the students’ acquisition of skills in the previous year, university contact hours are reduced.

This course has been designed to provide students with an introduction to using published evidence to inform care delivery.
