Module - Critical Care: Contemporary Issues (Level 7)

How you will learn

Learning is a mix of directed and self directed study supported by asynchronous and synchronous sessions, with the support of the module lead who is accessible to the student weekly via Q&A sessions during synchronous sessions, arranged tutorial support via teams and email. The student will be supported in their clinical area by their practice supervisor and assessor to complete their step 3 competencies,  underpinned by a learning contract signed and reviewed by the student, practice supervisor/assessor, critical care lead nurse/manager. If the base employer is using the Digital Learning Solution to complete the step competencies this can be accessed by the University to verify sign off of these competencies in practice. An alternative university based process is in place to verify the step 3 competencies if required.

During your study time you will be building relationships with your peers from across different critical care units creating a supportive community of learning. A sharing of experience and knowledge during key note lectures and group work will enhance the learning experience. Each student can book a 1:1 tutorial as part of the personal tutor relationship with the module lead to discuss any element of the unit/practice or their learning needs
