Additional Information:This module aims to prepare the student to actively participate in a range of practice

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. Hence, this contact will be reduced as the student progresses through
the programme.
