Additional Information:This is a non-standard year-long module, and runs across the course of the year to enable practice to be completed.
A practice document MORA is attached to this module and needs to be passed in order to complete the requirements of the programme and be eligible for entry onto the Midwifery Professional Register.
The assessment is component marked. The VIVA Voce is made up of 4 components. If students fail 1 or 2 VIVA components then they will be required to re-sit the 1 or 2 components they have failed. If students fail 3 or 4 components they will be required to re-sit all 4 components.
This module will provide students with the opportunity to consolidate skills practised in levels 4 and 5. The student will demonstrate knowledge and understanding that the complications and additional care needs of women, newborn infants, partners and families may relate to physical, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual factors.
During this module students will carry caseloads in order to build on their caseloading experiences from levels 4 and 5.
They will be required to pass 100% of their Midwifery Ongoing Record of Achievement: NMC Proficiencies for Midwives (2019) document (MORA).
The Safe Medicate competency will be assessed using an online software package. This needs to be passed at 100% in level 6 in order to prove competence. This also meets the other learning outcomes such as the use of technology, digital media and ensuring safety.
Students cannot be given a third attempt (either an Exceptional Second Referral or Final Module Attempt) at the competency component (MORA Practice Document) in 6100MW. Students awarded a fail grade for both first and referral attempts at the competency component (MORA Practice Document) in 6100MW will not be allowed to continue on the programme.
However, students can be considered for a third attempt at the test assessment and the competency component (Safe Medicate Practice) in 6100MW. Where students are given a Final Module Attempt in 6100MW but have previously successfully completed the practice component (MORA Practice Document), this component will be carried forward and will not be required to be attempted again as part of the final module attempt.
