Additional Information:This module is both medical and trauma-based and concentrates on developing the ability and confidence necessary to respond in the clinical field. The module is linked to practice via an OSCE. The OSCE will challenge and examine the learners patient assessment skills, decision making and clinical management.
As this module is intrinsically linked to practice the Practice Learning & Assessment Documentation (PLAD) must have all sign of sections completed and the skills log must be signed competent in all sections. The PLAD will have continued from module 5008PM. The PLAD is recorded as a 'pass' or 'fail'.
