Exclusions
Description	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 children’s nursing setting. Throughout this module students will plan, implement and evaluate the care of children and their families 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. At the end of the year students will undertake a summative, evidence-based, reflection on an evaluation in practice, this will be assessed by the academic assessor. Learning in placement will be facilitated by practice supervisors (registered nurses or health and social care professionals), a practice assessor (registered nurse) and an academic assessor (School of Nursing academic staff).
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Practice in accordance with the Code (NMC, 2018), undertaking delegated children’s nursing care confidently and competently under supervision of a registered nurse or registered health/social care practitioner; Demonstrate the knowledge, skills, behaviours and proficiencies required by part 2 of the approved practice assessment document within the context of children’s nursing practice; Critically reflect on an aspect of own performance within the children’s nursing environment, drawing on appropriate evidence and promoting personal and professional development; Evaluate selected aspects of care provided for a child with complex health and social care needs.
