Autonomous Practice in Specialist Community Nursing
Aims to develop the student’s specialist knowledge and skills to work effectively as an autonomous and accountable professional, while safely managing greater complexity and risk within community practice.
This refers to the children and young people they care for, the caseloads they manage, and the services they work in - both autonomously and integrated with other agencies, professionals, and disciplines.
Assessing and Planning Care as a Specialist Community Practitioner
Looks to facilitate the development of the practitioner’s knowledge, skills, and decision-making in the assessment and care planning processes.
Providing and Evaluating Evidence-Based Care
Aims to further develop knowledge and skills to deliver a range of interventions in the provision and evaluation of care based on best practice.
Year Two
There are three modules in Year Two aimed at developing the student’s knowledge and skills in promoting health and wellbeing, leadership and management, and improving quality in community healthcare.
Promoting Health and Well-being in the Context of Specialist Community Practice
Looks to extend the knowledge and understanding of interventions aimed at maximising health protection and promoting health and well-being for people, families, communities, and populations related to their field of practice.
This module will enable the community nurse to develop specialist skills to work effectively with people who use services and their carers to make positive choices to improve their physical, mental, and behavioural health.
Leading and Managing Teams in the Coordination of Community Care
Aims to enhance the ability to demonstrate critical analysis of leadership styles and management theories. Students will apply this knowledge and these skills when coordinating projects and services.
The module will enhance the students' understanding of theories and frameworks for effective collaboration to improve health and well-being.
Quality Improvement in Specialist Community Practice
Aims to develop specialist knowledge and skills around research and quality improvement methodologies, frameworks and tools. These will enable effective leadership and implementation of quality improvement initiatives within their area of community practice.
