Exclusions
Description	This clinical module 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, together with families and carers, who are presenting with increasingly complex and enduring health and social care needs. To support students to do this they will develop care evaluation using small group work and simulated scenarios within the classroom, 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 adult nursing care confidently and competently under supervision of a registered nurse or registered health/social care practitioner; Demonstrate the skills, behaviours and proficiencies required by part 2 of the approved practice assessment document within the context of adult nursing practice; Critically reflect on an aspect of practice evaluation within the adult nursing environment, systematically analysing the learning for self, the wider team and organisation; Present an evidence-based action plan detailing recommendations that could be made to improve clinical decision-making, organisation and management.
