Overview of Unit Four

Welcome to Unit four of your pre-registration nursing programme. The title of this unit is:

Patients with complex and long term needs SNM2233A The fourth unit of the programme is designed to ensure you are able to synthesise knowledge from a range of perspectives and disciplines in order to provide proficient and holistic professional nursing care to adults with long term conditions and complex needs. It will be underpinned by the National Service Frameworks, relevant components of the Benchmark Statement for Nursing and national and local policy directives. The unit offers a dual practice learning experience in both Primary Care and Secondary Care contexts to actively facilitate skill development in multi-agency, multi-professional working. In this Unit you will gain experience in patient case management under the direct supervision of a Registered Nurse whilst working in areas such as rehabilitation, intermediate and continuing care services, rapid response teams, stroke outreach, palliative care, oncology or a hospice. Students will submit assessment of practice documentation at the end of the practice placement. Any students failing this element of the programme will utilise the black hole period (weeks 42-45) for their second attempt. If you successfully complete all the assessment elements of Part 2 you will be permitted to move to part 3.

You will continue the use of problem based learning in this unit in the form of triggers. This

will be explained in more detail at the beginning of the unit but is a learning method based

on the principle of using ‘problems’ as a starting point for the acquisition and integration of

new knowledge.

The triggers will be:

1. Care planning and evidence based practice

2. Young people with long term conditions and complex needs

3. Supporting carers

We hope you enjoy the Unit.

Unit description:

This practice centred Unit is designed to enable students to understand the unique needs and experiences of adults and their families living with long term conditions, and the significance of multi-agency collaboration across the health and social care sectors. This will be achieved by drawing the students’ attention to current policy, practice and research. In addition psychological, physiological and sociological perspectives are explored. The unit will develop understanding of the importance of user/ carer expertise in health care decision making.

Summative Assessment in Unit 4

Unit 4: Triple Jump Examination weighting 50% This assessment has three stages and these will be completed within one week. Stage 1 and 3 are invigilated examinations:

Jump One is a 1.5 hour invigilated examination (50% of the marks): You will be given an examination paper which contains a selection of patient/client scenarios. From these you will select one patient/client scenario only. You are then expected to make an initial assessment of the patient/client and identify the key issues based on the information provided. You are then expected to identify the patient’s/client’s actual and potential problems. Once you have identified these you must list them in order of priority. You are then expected to write an evidence based care plan which addresses each of these actual and potential problems.

At the end of the examination you will be provided with further information about the patient/client. Use this information to inform your preparations for the Jump 3 examination.

Jump Two: This stage is not invigilated and is viewed as an information gathering stage. Use this time to continue your revision and review the literature relating to your patient/client scenario to prepare you for Stage 3. You must prepare a reference list to take with you into Jump 3 examination (see further information below). It is very important that you dedicate this time to preparing for the Jump 3 examination.

Jump Three is a 1 hour invigilated examination: (50% of the marks): Again, in examination conditions you will answer three questions relating to your patient/client. The first two will be short-answer questions and the third question will ask you to identify whether any aspects of your care plan have changed. If they have, you are required to present these amendments in the form of a care plan.

The stages are weighted such that:

Stage 1 is allocated 50% of the marks. Stage 2 is assessed in Stage 3. Stage 3 is allocated 50% of the marks.

Students must pass both elements of the assessment in order to achieve an overall pass grade. If you fail one of the stages then you must re-sit all of them.

Pathophysiology Exam weighting 20%

Multiple choice exam paper

Portfolio Weighting 30%

Marking of the assignment and portfolio will be against the marking criteria found at the end

of this handbook and will be at LEVEL 2.

For further information about your assessments, attend the sessions in your timetable, check your emails regularly for additional information and most importantly, consult the information contained in the related handbooks and guidance documents.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO THE EXAMINATION FOR UNIT 3

Students will only be permitted to take a reference list into the Jump 3

examination.

The reference list must meet the following criteria:

1. The maximum permitted length of each reference list is two sides of A4 paper. 2. The reference list must be typed in size 12 font with a one-line space between each reference. 3. Handwritten (or part hand-written) reference lists will not be permitted. 4. Reference lists must be presented in the Harvard style of referencing only. 5. Only references are allowed on the reference list - there must be no other information

(such as notes/prompts...) 6. The student registration number (NOT the library number) must be included at the top of each

page. 7. The reference list will be checked by the invigilator prior to the beginning of the examination. 8. The reference list must also include references used in the Jump 1 examination. 9. The reference list must be submitted with your answer paper at the end of the Jump 3

examination.

REFERENCE LISTS WHICH FAIL TO MEET THE ABOVE CRITERIA WILL BE CONFISCATED BEFORE THE EXAMINATION COMMENCES.

UNIT 4 Assessment of Practice Record

As well as the assessment of theory you will also be assessed in practice.

Assessment in practice will involve the completion of a number of formative and summative

documents as follows:

Assessment of numeracy in practice

Skills passport

EU directives

Portfolio

Intermediate interview

Portfolio

As part of your personal and professional development you are required to keep a portfolio

of learning; this is a compulsory component of your programme. This is an important part

of your record of development and the maintenance of a portfolio will be required by the

NMC as part of your re-registration in future years.

The portfolio is an opportunity for you to collect evidence whilst on placement in practice

demonstrating the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to be a registered nurse. The

clinical skills passport will be included in the portfolio for you to record the development of

your clinical skills as you progress through each of the Units. You are also required to

demonstrate successful attainment of the professional behaviours expected of a

professional nurse; these form part of your Assessment of Practice document and will be

discussed both in your practice review meeting with your mentor and also at the end of

Unit review meeting with your personal tutor.

Below is a summary about what to include in your portfolio. You are required to read the

‘Maintaining Your Portfolio’ document in the Programme MOLE site

Page 10: NURU149 BMedSci (Hons) Nursing (Adult) · The fourth unit of the programme is designed to ensure you are able to synthesise knowledge from a range of perspectives and disciplines

10

Briefly, the portfolio is largely based on your practice experience within placement and

should contain the following:

Up to date CV

Information on your own personal development

Clinical Skills Passport

Practice Placement Documentation

10 medicine proformas

4 in-depth reflections related to an exposure from the different fields of practice:

Mother and child, mental health, child and learning disability 750 words each +/- 10%

2 Patient Journeys 1000 words each +/- 10%

N.B. (i) Shaded areas indicate the minimum ‘pass’ mark (ii) Referencing:- Level 1 Inaccurate referencing should be identified in the student feedback sheet.

Level 2 Inaccurate referencing should be identified in the student feedback sheet and the mark should be reduced by one marking band. Level 3 Inaccurate or incomplete referencing should be identified in the student feedback sheet, and the work should be graded as a 40. (iii) It is expected that confidentiality of patients, staff and organisations will be maintained. If confidentiality is breached then work will be returned to the student for this to be rectified. This may mean that there is a delay in the publication of results. (See Undergraduate Programme minutes, Faculty wide consultation)

(iv) Assignments +/- Agreed Word Allowance.

For students who submit under the assessment word allowance (after the -10% rule) there is no direct penalty. The markers would award a grade that reflects the assignment, taking into account the number of issues raised, depth of analysis, organisation and presentation.

For students who submit over the word limit (after the + 10% rule) then students would be penalised for unfair means. 10% of the grade would be reduced for every 10% over the word allowance.

Therefore, over the word limit 11% - 19% incurs a 10% reduction in marks. 20% - 29% incurs a 20% reduction in marks. 30%-39% incurs a 30% reduction in marks 39%-40% incurs a 40% reduction in marks etc.

If at any time during the programme you receive a police caution, criminal conviction or are bound over, you must inform the Programme Leader immediately. The nature of the offence will determine the action taken. Because this programme leads to professional registration, failure to inform the Programme Leader of cautions and criminal convictions may lead to disciplinary action and a referral to the Fitness to Practice committee. Information on this committee can be found at www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/procedures/fitness.

Changes to physical and mental health You are reminded that you must inform the programme leader of any changes to your health – however insignificant you may deem them to be. This is so that we can continue to ensure your - and your patients’ – safety whilst you are on the programme. It will also give us the opportunity to offer you support.

At the beginning of the unit 4 you will be formally asked to confirm that there have been no changes to your health/character. You will be required to complete a form and return this to Gary Toon, Programme Coordinator.
