Assessment method
Students will be assessed through a variety of methods (assessment components) including skills assessment in real-time and simulated practice settings. You'll be assessed through a range of different assessment methods, such as oral seminar, and poster presentations, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE), case studies, practical reports, seen/unseen examinations and in-class tests, as well as literature reviews and essays. In clinical practice and simulation settings, student nurses will be assessed by a suitably qualified Practice Assessor or Nurse Lecturer according to the Standards for Student Supervision and Assessment (NMC 2018). We'll use the pan-London Practice Learning group electronic practice assessment document (ePAD), which has been validated and approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council for assessing student learning and assessment of skills and professional values in practice. Transferable skills will be embedded in the learning outcomes of the core modules.
