| Occurrence | Teaching period |
|---|---|
| A | Spring Term 2024-25 |
Module aims
This module’s design combines the student's knowledge of biological, psychological, and sociological concepts and theories as they apply to person-centred assessment, treatment and evaluation of the outcomes of complex care and multi-morbidity in health and social care settings. The student will be enabled to develop skills in medicines optimisation and effective decision making in their chosen field of practice to prepare for prescriber readiness following registration with the NMC.
Module learning outcomes
At the end of the module students will be able to:
-
Utilise a holistic consultation model to demonstrate a systematic and rigorous history-taking process.
-
Incorporate a holistic assessment of the stresses and vulnerabilities related to emotional distress to support recovery.
-
Through skilful negotiation and shared decision making, formulate a nursing management plan and implement interventions to support complex healthcare needs.
-
Analyse principles of medicines optimisation and apply these to the recognition and resolution of pharmacological complexities such as de-prescribing and polypharmacy.
-
Prioritise and integrate facets of the professional role of the nurse, including accountability and ethical judgment, in supporting the care of individuals with complex healthcare needs.
-
Incorporate a systematic approach to identifying, critically appraising and synthesising research and other forms of information into the construction of effective decisions in the planning and delivery of care for individuals with complex healthcare needs.
