Course summary
This course will equip you with the competence and confidence to think critically and deliver high-quality, compassionate, and evidence-informed care for children, young people and their families. We’ll support you to develop the resilience and excellent communication skills needed in today’s complex and ever-changing healthcare environment. You’ll learn to recognise and understand inequalities in health, the effect this has on access to services, and ways to address such issues. You’ll also explore the relationship between mental health and physical health, the impact of pre-existing conditions, and behaviour and development in young people. Clinical placements are integral to the programme and are included within each year. These will enable you to gain expertise in different clinical environments, including medicine, surgery, community and high dependency/critical care. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to provide complex care and promote optimal health and wellbeing for children, young people and their families, work effectively within a team, supervise others and be a leader of care.
Assessment method
In clinical practice you’ll be assessed by registered professionals who are responsible for your learning and development whilst on placement. Within the University, assessment takes many forms including individual and group assignments, written and oral exams, and practical assessments. You’ll need to demonstrate knowledge and application of nursing concepts and techniques, and will develop abilities, skills and competencies in providing person-centred care. You’ll need to produce work that is both evaluative and creative and show you can conduct independent, in-depth enquiry within the discipline. You’ll need to be able to draw on a wide variety of evidence-based material such as academic journals, textbooks, policy and national health-related guidelines and be able to evaluate and critique received opinion.
