3. Programme Description 3.1 Overview Students enter the nursing programme from a wide variety of backgrounds and life span stages with a range of different experiences. The teaching, learning and assessment strategy underpinning this vocational and professionally accredited programme aims to enable reflection and critical thinking allied to the development of competence. The focus will be on integration of theory and practice together with the development of the knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and skills necessary to work with individuals communities and groups to manage their care needs in 2019 and beyond. The traditional context of care has been within an institution-based, professionally-led, centralised service. The paternalistic image of the nurse no longer reflects the reality of care and so there is a need to develop a new identity that is consistent with the reality of changes to health service provision (NHS England, 2014). The curriculum will be underpinned by the need to address the gaps between health and well-being, care and quality and funding and efficiency (NHS England, 2014). The wider determinants of health, public health improvement and protection will have central place in the programme (Public Health England 2012). Flexibility and resilience will be required of the nursing practitioner aiming to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing clinical environment. The nurse will need to be a highly trained, accountable and responsible professional demonstrating the effective outcomes of the art and science of nursing. Efficient, effective and individualised care will be provided in partnership with people requiring support to manage their care needs through appropriate assessment and diagnosis of their needs using the theoretical knowledge and skills developed in both academic and practice environments. Increasingly nurses will work as a partner or key member of the interdisciplinary team providing professional care through a mosaic approach to practice. Practitioners must be able to work independently and under supervision, making clinical judgements and decisions that are sound and safe using an evidence-based analytical approach to do so. The nurse will need to take an active role in future planning of health care services and the proposed programme will prepare students to become nurses working in such complex environments. This will include the effective and progressive use of technology. Changes in the demography of the UK, including an ageing population and multi-culturalism, impact on the role of the Registered Nurse (RN) and demand a team approach to care. Professional values and the ability to effectively liaise with other members of the multi-disciplinary team are essential to the planning and delivery of high quality nursing care. The starting point for working with other disciplines is the development of a sound understanding and appreciation of the roles and responsibilities of each member of the team. A clear focus on interprofessional learning is seen throughout the course, in both practice and theory. Learning, teaching and assessment methods will challenge the student to ensure that they are engaged with the learning opportunities offered to them. A range of innovative and contemporaneous approaches to nursing education have been realised and some of these will be adopted by this refreshed programme. For example, the programme will be designed to consider the principles of biological sciences and pathophysiology in combination with clinical decision making and skills acquisition. Political and social awareness will be central to future practice in the sense that the student will need to develop an ability to discuss professional issues and debate them at local and national levels. The Page 5/35

curriculum will utilise a range of activities to facilitate such development. By the end of the course these activities should be student-led/self-directed. For example in the final stages of their programme the student will be required to identify a required change in practice and go on to propose and plan a solution independently but with support and supervision by their academic tutor and / or mentor. The student will also develop the confidence to identify their own limitations and to seek advice and support from appropriate agencies to keep the patient safe. The safety of people accessing services is the central tenet of the curriculum, particularly in the current climate of public concern about failures to safeguard vulnerable people. The programme aims to develop a registered nurse equipped with emotional intelligence inclusive of empathic caring and respectful for autonomy, dignity and privacy. By the end of the programme the student s competence will enable practice across a diverse range of diverse care settings. The nurse graduate with embody resilience, confidence and assertiveness when working with other members of the health and social care team. She will be able to advocate in the best interests of patients and their families. The student will meet the demands of an increasingly challenging and dynamic work environment. Lifelong learning that engages in continuous professional development is central to the programme. 3.2 Aims and Objectives The overall aim of the programme is to ensure that on graduation nursing students are fit for practice in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Standards for Pre-Registration Nursing Education (NMC 2010). Set within the four NMC competency domains of professional values, communication and interpersonal skills, nursing practice and decision-making, leadership, management and team working the Programme Objectives are as follows: Provide an educational framework of nurse education that meets contemporary and future workforce requirements. Create autonomous and self-directed practitioners who possess clinical skills and knowledge informed by current practice, scholarship and research. Develop students critical thinking and analysis skills to engage with best evidence in order to tackle and solve problems in clinical practice requiring sound judgement, personal responsibility and initiative in complex and unpredictable professional environments. Develop an independent safe competent and autonomous graduate nurse who is fit for practice and award and who is able to maintain professional standards and assure protection of the public. Develop a practitioner who is compassionate and aware of the interpersonal therapeutic use of self and the impact on patients and other members of the multi-professional healthcare team.

5. Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategies 5.1. Learning and Teaching Strategy The strategy for pre-registration nursing programmes is based upon the pedagogical philosophy of Student as Producer which is a benchmark philosophy and identity at the University of Lincoln. This central organising principle for teaching and learning situates research-engaged teaching and learning at the core of the student learning experience. Student as Producer facilitates the engagement of students and lecturers as producers of knowledge in collaboration with academics and with other students. The work assessed throughout the pre-registration nursing awards will be topical, current and relevant to the students professional working practices and future careers. Teaching, Learning and Assessment will be undertaken by a range of appropriately experienced and competent teachers, practice teachers and mentors, including experienced healthcare professionals and it is through this collaborative and inter-professional assessment process that the University and the Professional Statutory Regulating Body, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), will gain full assurances that the student is fit for practice as a nurse upon completion of these qualifying programmes. The vision for the development and delivery of this teaching, learning and assessment strategy is to provide a rationale and delivery plan for the integration of high quality teaching, learning and assessment for all students enrolled on to pre-registration nursing programmes at the University of Lincoln. The key components to achieve this will be the continuing development of contemporary profession - specific knowledge which reflects the values of the nursing profession and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) standards for nursing education. A significant contribution to the realisation of this vision is partnership development with students, service users, mentors, practice teachers, senior leaders in local and national health care organisations and University departments. This will enable innovative user -centred approaches to pedagogy to be fostered and embedded within the delivery of the programme. The delivery of this strategy relies upon the deliverance of highly skilled teaching and assessment for students both in University and in Practice. The University supports the programme team by offering staff development opportunities, the availability of appropriate resources including technology and support from a dedicated educational development unit. The Educational Development and Enhancement Unit (EDEU) aims to bring a coordinated and proactive approach to the enhancement of undergraduate and postgraduate student education and engagement. As the primary vehicle for securing the implementation of the University s Strategic, Teaching and Learning, Digital Education and Student Engagement Plans, EDEU aims to support staff to become effective and inspirational educators within and beyond the classroom. Members of the nursing team have worked closely with EDEU since its inception in 2014 and this relationship will continue to grow and strengthen as new and innovative ways of programme delivery are fostered and developed by our experienced and skilled workforce. The nursing team is a group of extensively experienced nursing academics who add sector specific experience and knowledge which complements the values and philosophy of nursing education. The motivation to move towards a diverse and creative approach to education within the discipline of nursing at Lincoln has been born out of the recognition that the learning landscape is changing and in Page 10/35

particular within nursing education. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) demands the maintenance of high quality knowledge and skills education which will prepare student nurses for working within often challenging and changing health care environments. A refined and consolidated curriculum has been developed to meet the workforce requirements of an emerging and rapidly changing health care service whilst maintaining and promoting the core values of the NMC and society as a whole. Our mission is therefore to develop and deliver a high quality contemporary, diverse, streamlined and challenging suite of programmes which will prepare nurses for 2019 and beyond. The programme has been designed to reflect the best of current pedagogical developments of the higher education sector in the United Kingdom. The growing call for a dynamic blended approach to teaching and learning has been the catalyst for this most recent strategy. The higher education sector in general - and health and social care programmes are no different - has become a highly competitive market with the teaching and learning experience a significant factor in programme attractiveness and student satisfaction. This creates a range of opportunities to consider the changing student population, the changes to the external educational environment for teaching and learning, innovations in technology enhanced teaching and in general learning pedagogy. The School of Health and Social Care employs a broad range of highly motivated and experienced professionally qualified educators from across the health and social sector in terms of professional and research specialisms. There is an emphasis on linking learning inside and outside of the classroom, on giving learners more flexibility in terms of diverse modes of accessibility to staff and materials, on maximising the added value of teaching contact time, and on expanding opportunities for discussion, debate and exploration of relevant topics. There is an increasingly innovative adoption of a technology enhanced learning approach, which is being ably supported by the University Educational Development and Enhancement Unit (EDEU) and the Information Technology Department. Technologies include high quality lecture capture using a web based system which enables professional quality video rendering of teaching experiences for the purposes of improving accessibility, reproduction and context setting for in-classroom activities as part of a module or series of modules. The use of a sophisticated teleconference software which has been designed for teaching and learning in a virtual space is also being frequently deployed throughout the programme to complement the blend of classroom based activities and events. The University has invested in a high specification simulated teaching and learning package which is commercially available and can be tailored to the individual needs of students and groups of students. The above examples of available technologies are being used to: Improve learner experience and outcomes. Enhance the quality of teaching and learning. Enable a more personalised approach to enhance the individual learner experience. Support a diverse range of learning opportunities inside and outside of the classroom or clinical space. Page 11/35

Provide a wide range of learning resources in the most effective way which is continuously accessible by the learner. Develop a range of approaches to personalise tutorial support and guidance outside of the classroom. Encourage learners to develop their skills of negotiation and decision making as part of group work to prepare them for clinical practice. Enable learners to utilise their own devices which will help personalise their experience on the programme and as a University of Lincoln student. The programme is designed to produce confident, critically analytical, patient focused advocates of excellence in nursing practice. In order to enhance the experience of learners and in the context of working towards professional registration this teaching and learning strategy: Supports learners to develop as lifelong learners. Supports learners to develop their ability to manage their own learning using technologies inside and outside of the classroom. Enables the programme to adopt a philosophy of individual learner led learning in a technology-rich environment. Enables innovative support networks for learners. 5.2. Assessment Strategy There has been a rationalised planned approach to the type and variety of assessment methods used across the programme to ensure that there is a match between assessment, the overarching programme learning outcomes and the Professional Statutory and Regulatory Body (NMC) outcomes and demands. Assessments have been designed to be robust, innovative and fit for purpose, thus allowing the student to demonstrate that they are consistently competent and capable of the role both academically and in real-life, complex and dynamic service environments. All students undertaking the pre-registration nursing programme have supernumerary status while on placement. This means they are additional to the workforce requirement and staffing figures. Assessments are used to monitor student progress and to determine the extent to which the programme and module outcomes have been achieved. Key considerations when designing assessment methods across the programme have included the requirement to: Encourage and motivate students, as independent learners to engage with their programme of study, develop partnerships with fellow students and academics, thus enriching their learning experience. Design challenging and meaningful assessments by use of appropriately reliable and valid methods which assess different skills. Design tasks that allow students to demonstrate achievement of one or more of the learning outcomes for a module and the programme at a given level of study. Replicate the demands of clinical practice wherever possible and develop skills that are transferable to the workplace; help students integrate theory to practice; develop a deeper understanding of their role as a Nurse and maximise their skills of critical thinking and analysis. Be varied whilst promoting mastery of core assessment skills. Incorporate best practice and overarching university strategies when designing methods e.g. making use of digital technologies. Be creative in managing challenges e.g. cohort size. Page 12/35

Produce an assessment schedule that demonstrates balance and parity of workload across the modules and years. Encourage creativity and deter plagiarism and other academic irregularities. The range of assessment methods used in the programme have been designed to meet the requirements set out in the Standards for Pre-registration Nursing Education (NMC, 2010). The range of assessments includes examinations, written assignments, presentations, reports, reflective writing and practice assessments. All students have a fair, equitable, reliable and coherent programme of assessment. There is comparability of assessment workload and assessment method across all aspect of their programme. The spacing of assessments throughout the year, avoiding submissions during periods of study for the practice modules, and a range of outputs including formative assessments maximises the students opportunity to demonstrate their competence and achievements to best effect. The schedule promotes mastery of core assessment skills and reduces the stress associated with assessment. Assessment events span the full length of each element of the programme with early assessment in term 1 of the first year, which is supported with formative learning. This will provide the student with meaningful feedback / feed forward at an early stage in the learning process. Alongside the provision of clear links between the assessment and the learning outcomes for a module is the consistency of assessment volume, weightings and workload across the programme at all levels. A learning hours based approach has been used to provide guidance to the students regarding the engagement expectations associated with an assessment and to assist module teams when planning teaching and learning throughout the programme. Formative learning / assessment is conducted in every module. It is used to scaffold the development and understanding of difficult concepts in relation to the learning outcomes by providing developmental feedback / feed forward in a timely way. This allows students the opportunity to remedy as promptly as possible any shortcomings in learning that are identified in the assessment task thus supporting learning and preparing the student for the assessment process. Formative assessment activities integrate a degree of peer and self-assessment that promotes student engagement and enables peer learning and knowledge discovery and exchange to take place between students, staff and professional colleagues in service areas. The academic support for all summative assessments includes the undertaking of feedback and feed forward of formative learning and assessment opportunities pertaining to individual modules for all students. This feedback is supported by module small group learning and discussion forums designed to support the individual student to develop their knowledge and skills and to prepare for their summative assessments. The summative evidence generated through assessment of learning is used to monitor and demonstrate student achievement of the module and programme learning outcomes. It evidences that the student possesses the required knowledge, understanding and skills based capabilities for safe and effective practice. It provides an objective public measure of the ability of the individual student to achieve the standards identified in the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education s Framework for Education Qualifications (2008) and the Standards for Pre-registration Nursing Education (2010) identified by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
