Additional Information:This module will offer opportunities for Nursing Associates to act in an increasingly competent and autonomous manner in clinical placements. The module will include annual mandatory training in CPR and manual handling This module aims to extend the Nursing Associates generic and field knowledge and skills through undertaking a range of basic and complex practice learning opportunities. Associates will work with less direct supervision to make the most of opportunities to extend knowledge, skills and practice. Enhanced skills are taught in university to prepare students for practice using simulation, reflected in the 20 hours 'workshop' allocation. Students will be expected to study independently using directed materials from the module content. Practice is assessed through a Practice Assessment Document and all domains included in the Practice Assessment Document must be passed. There will also be a summative numeracy exam pass mark 100%
