Disgrifiad cryno

The focus of this module will be on developing a more in-depth understanding of human anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and integrated pharmacology and how this knowledge informs professional nursing practice and holistic person centred care.
Using a systems-based approach we will explore anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, common disorders and how these impact on individual service users using the ‘virtual family’. This module reflects the same module within first year of the Pre-registration nursing schemes.

Sgiliau Modiwl

Math o Sgiliau	Manylion Sgiliau
Addasrwydd a gwydnwch	Although ill-health and disease follow particular pattern profiles, students will be challenged to learn about the differing symptoms and stages of disease progression, which will require flexibility within their nursing approach. This module will help students further understand the importance of delivering person centred care by developing knowledge of body systems and how treatment options may differ, requiring healthcare support workers to adapt to different clinical situations.
Cydlynu ag erail	Teamwork will be required in all aspects of nursing care, and students will be expected to actively participate in all activities and learning episode events. Students will be involved in small group work, participate in debates and discussions, delivering presentations, conducting assessment and outlining treatment options and be included in mock clinical scenarios, thus nurturing their confidence and knowledge through peer group learning.
Cyfathrebu proffesiynol	Students will be required to further develop their communication skills within this module, as they will be expected to continue to actively participate in discussions and debates. Students will demonstrate their oral and written communication skills by participating in relevant learning activities throughout the module. Engagement in the delivery of oral presentations is again expected in order to develop skills relating to the transfer of information to others.
Datrys Problemau Creadigol	Students will continually be challenged to think about and discuss their approaches to varying clinical situations, especially when responding to patients diagnosed with a range of illnesses and diseases. It will be especially important for students to consider and develop their nursing care in relation to individual patient responses to routine investigations and treatment, which may require personalised care requiring problem solving skills.

All taught subjects will therefore relate back to clinical practice. Students will learn the importance of being exposed to learning in both the theoretical and clinical classroom
