| Summary of Module |
|---|
This is a work based module designed to facilitate the student’s understanding of values based practice and to demonstrate the development of skill competencies required to deliver safe, person-centred care to individuals within the perioperative context. This module is intended to allow the learner to reflect on learning and assimilate new learning to the context of their practice. The student will maintain a continuous portfolio of practice which will comprise module related reflective activities and recording of skills attainment to demonstrate the interrelationship of their theoretical learning to practice.
The student will also undertake a range of activities within their placement under the direct supervision of their named mentor to evidence attainment of the Standards of Proficiency (HCPC, 2014). Evidence of completion of the required competencies will be provided by the student through the completion of a portfolio and assessment in practice.
- Students undertaking this work-based learning module will gain experience across a variety of perioperative environments with individuals experiencing a range of health and capacity challenges from across the lifespan. The main purpose of this module is to encourage the development of knowledge, skills and professional values. Exposure to the provision of professional care, that meets the diverse health and social care needs of individuals and their families / carers, will enable students to encounter evidence-based practice within a variety of healthcare environments.
- Module content reflects current HCPC Standards (2014) and CODP proficiencies (2018). On completion of the module the student will be able to demonstrate working at a ‘Supervised’ level (Bondy, 1983); Level 5 (CODP, 2018). The Module content also reflects current theory and research required for registration as an ODP. It will introduce the student to the research process and the role of reflection in developing best practice.
- The graduate attributes gained in this module include becoming ethically minded, an effective communicator and collaborative as you work within a team setting.

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.
