Written Assignment

You’ll have the opportunity to develop the knowledge and understanding required to care for patients’/service users across the lifespan focusing on physical and mental health needs. You’ll explore normal anatomy and physiology and be assessed on this through an online multiple choice exam. You’ll also study how to deliver person centred care safely whilst surveying health and promoting health and wellbeing, which will be assessed through submission of a case study. Fundamental Nursing Associate skills will also be practised in our simulation labs, including hand washing, nutrition, basic life support and administration of medication.
 This module will provide you with the fundamentals of caring for the individual that includes physical and mental health needs. You will learn how to deliver person centred care safely, with compassion whilst maintaining dignity and promoting health and wellbeing. This module will equip you with the theoretical and practical underpinnings to enable you to develop the skills and professional behaviours required by a Trainee Nursing Associate. This relates to safety, safeguarding and protection of people of all ages, their carers and their families and professional values and expected attitudes and behaviours towards people, their carers and their families as identified by the NMC (2010) and HEE Nursing Associate Apprenticeship Curriculum Framework (2017). Module content will be linked to the NMC five essential skills clusters: care, compassion and communication, organisational aspects of care, infection prevention and control, nutrition and fluid management and medicines management, which align with the Nursing Associate Apprenticeship Curriculum Framework domains.
The module will provide you with the knowledge and understanding to interpret how these concepts connect to the competency domains; professional values, communication and interpersonal skills, nursing practice and decision making, leadership, management and team working. There will be an emphasis on Nursing Associate practice and decision making.
