NMHS10510 Clinical Practice 1 (MH)
Academic Year 2021/2022
This module will provide the student with initial contact with service users and is designed to facilitate integration of knowledge and practice in the clinical setting. The module facilitates the learning of essential clinical skills and the attainment of standards/criteria identified in the National Competency Assessment Document (NCAD) Year 1. The student is provided with an opportunity to practice, under supervision, some skills previously learned in the clinical skills laboratory.
The module is part of the essential clinical requirements for professional registration. The student must pass all individual clinical placements within the module before a pass grade can be awarded for the module. All clinical placement modules must be passed and all of the clinical time completed for the current stage before the student can progress to the next stage of the programme. The credit load of the module reflects student effort hours required to achieve the learning outcomes.
