It is an NMC requirement that all students have an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check prior to starting the programme Self- declaration of continued health and character is completed at the start of every academic year.
This clinical module is delivered throughout the second year and is divided in to practice placements and aims to provide students with the opportunity to develop specific nursing knowledge, skills and attributes within both a simulated and clinical practice adult nursing setting.
Throughout this module students will plan, implement and evaluate the care of adults presenting with increasingly complex health and social care needs. To support students to do this they will develop their care evaluation using small group work and simulated scenarios within the clinical skills laboratory and in practice, related to their Practice Assessment Document (Stage 2) and mapped NMC (2018) Annexe A and B skills. Simulated learning will facilitate students to synthesise learning from other modules to support evaluation and decision-making.
