Module details and indicative content

You will examine and evaluate current clinical skills within the context of the learner's own area of practice so as to justify development of an identified clinical skill. In addition, you will critically appraise and manage the development and application of the clinical skills identified safely and competently within the learner's own scope of practice.

How you are assessed

There are two summative assessments:

  • A practical assessment – the completion of a competency document
  • A 2,500-word Personal Development plan.

To support summative assessment, there are opportunities to undertake formative assessment.
