Learn the principles of care practice. In the first of three practice modules of the programme, you'll be introduced to the four domains of professional values, communication, and interpersonal skills, care practice and decision making and leadership, and team working. These provide the framework for contemporary care practice.

On this module, you'll be introduced the expectations of academic study, the principles of professional practice, as well as evidence-based practice. You'll develop critical and reflective skills to access and discuss research and other evidence in health and social care practice.

Gain insights into concepts such as key determinants of health and examine the impact of factors such as culture on health and illness. You'll also study health assessment and promotion and discover current government long-term drivers to create a wellness service and to strengthen policy locally and nationally.

This module enables Adult Field of Practice students to build upon the knowledge, skills and attributes developed during practice learning AB. It further enhances your application of the principles and practice of holistic and non-judgmental care based upon the individual requirements of the adult and family, with a range of care needs, through application of evidence-based frameworks.

Explore the dynamics of integrated evidence-based professional nursing practice in the political/professional context. You'll develop critical, reflective practice, and become capable in effectively utilising evidence to support the rationale for interventions in the delivery of care practice.

This module involves undertaking a substantial piece of work that requires you to demonstrate the ability to work autonomously in both researching and presenting a chosen topic and to sustain these skills over an extended period. You'll have the opportunity to apply theoretical and practical knowledge, critically exploring an issue aligned to your field of practice. You'll demonstrate the ability to synthesise data and evaluate conflicting interpretations, arriving at an original conclusion.

In the third practice module, you will again draw on your clinical experience to develop the skills you need, demonstrating your competence in providing individualised holistic patient and client care.
