This zero-credit rated; year-long module is an essential component of the programme. This module is your placement module for year one, placement hours will contribute 50% towards your programme overall.

 

Students will learn the theory underpinning contemporary, safe nursing proficiencies, related to their chosen field of practice, to support the successful achievement of the criteria set out in the Future Nurse: Standards of Proficiency for Registered Nurses and Standards for Education and Training (NMC 2018).  This will be achieved by demonstrating proficiency against the PAN- Midlands assessment documentation, in simulated activities and in the practice context for the chosen field of practice. 

 

In addition to students demonstrating achievement of their practice proficiencies, they will also be required to successfully complete the professional values assessment for each placement and the episodes of care and medicines management as outlined in the PAN-OAR document. 

 

This module will be used to track student attendance and completion of mandatory skills (termed ‘passport to practice’) before commencement of clinical practice.

The main topic areas you will cover are:

 

Your Passport to Practice mandatory training elements include the following timetabled face-to-face sessions:

 

To evidence your achievement and completion of these sessions you must ensure you physically hand-sign a register in your face-to-face sessions. The lecturer facilitating the session will then report on your attendance.

 

You must attend the session you are timetabled for. You will have one further ‘mop up’ session timetabled for each of the mandatory face-to-face elements, but these should only be used in exceptional circumstances with the support of the module leaders. Failure to attend all of the Passport to Practice face-to-face elements before the deadline for your cohort will result in a ‘fail’ of the module and you will not be able to go out into clinical practice. It is therefore of vital importance that you prioritise these sessions.

 

Your Passport to Practice mandatory training elements also include the following e-learning learning materials:

 

The learning materials for these subjects will be delivered via the e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH) platform available via https://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/ 

 

At the start of the year, you will be registered onto the e-LfH system, and they will contact you directly via your student email with your login details and instructions on how to access your e-learning training sessions. Please check your junk/spam folders in case the email is located in there. Follow the instructions to set up your account and you can then begin your e-learning. If you have any issues with this process please see the Passport to Practice section on the module shell on Blackboard.

 

If you forget your e-LfH login information, it can be retrieved here: https://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/forgotten-password 

 

To evidence your achievement and completion of these learning materials you must ensure you complete the multiple-choice quizzes within your MYEPAD document for each skill. This quiz comprises 64 questions (8 per topic) and can be taken multiple times, you must keep taking it until you achieve 100%. Once you have taken a quiz it is important to go back into it to check your results as you must achieve all of the available marks to reach 100% completion. 

 

You must complete all of the e-learning training. Failure to achieve 100% in the Passport to Practice e-learning quiz before the deadline for your cohort will result in a ‘fail’ of the module and you will not be able to go out into clinical practice. It is therefore of vital importance that you prioritise these sessions.

Professional values will be assessed throughout each placement through the MYEPAD (Part 1) PAN-Midland Assessment Document. Please see pages 15-16 for the professional values assessment. This assessment will need to be recorded and signed off using the MYEPAD platform.

Programme specific regulations
The programme specific regulations for the Nursing BSc programme note the following key points:

 

Assessment of Proficiencies (Part 1)
Practice proficiencies will be achieved in allocated field of practice specific placements across the year and students will be supported by practice supervisors, practice assessors and an academic assessor (as per NMC, 2018 Standards for Student Supervision and Assessment). A generic copy of the proficiencies can be found in the MYEPAD (Part 1) PAN-Midland Assessment Document pages 60-66.
Please review the Assessment of Proficiencies (Part 1) section of your MYEPAD, all proficiencies without a * symbol will need to be completed at least once by the end of Part 1 (year 1 of the programme). Those with a * symbol can be completed in Part 1 or Part 2. This assessment will need to be recorded and signed off using the MYEPAD platform. Any proficiencies achieved with a * symbol will need to be documented in the PAD and in the OAR on the MYEPAD platform.

Episode of Care (summative)
This holistic assessment facilitates and demonstrates the your progress and must be achieved by the end of Part 1. All elements within the assessment must be successfully achieved.
