Additional Information:The practical module builds upon the knowledge gained from Module 4008PM and explores key aspects of the non-emergency and emergency role. It addresses aspects of urgent and emergency care through a model of increasing levels of dependency, immediacy and urgency.
Further focus will be on the assessment and management of chronic, acute and life-threatening conditions, presented in time-critical and non-time-critical situations. As a practical module, this module addresses key theories and ideas around disease, illness and mechanism of injury.
Learners will need to utilise and apply their knowledge gained from other level 4 modules.
The assessment is an OSCE and completion of the PLAD. The OSCE examines the learner’s patient assessment skills, decision-making and clinical management. The OSCE is either a ‘pass’ or ‘fail’.
As this module is intrinsically linked to practice the Practice Learning & Assessment Documentation (PLAD) must be completed fully and all aspects and the skills log must be signed as competent to be accepted as a pass. Therefore, the PLAD is recorded as a 'pass' or 'fail'.
