| Module Content |
The student will provide evidence through work with patients and clients in both Primary and Secondary care of how they achieved their learning outcomes (see assessment of practice portfolio documentation). They will also practice a range of essential nursing skills within a variety of settings including the patient’s home. Working alongside their mentor, in a supernumerary status the student will develop an evidenced based approach to care. The student will embrace the concept of team working including communicating with relatives and carers. Working in a variety of settings should enable the student to build up a portfolio of evidence in support of achieving the proficiency statements.
Linking Theory to Practice
As advised within all taught sessions, you need to consider the theory learned and apply this to the practice you experience. Regularly discuss with your mentor your understanding of how the theory applies to practice to ensure you are making these links.
