SHG3041 Hanfodion Ymarfer Cymunedol
Mae'r modiwl hwn yn cyflwyno'r Cymhwyster Ymarfer Arbenigol mewn Nyrsio Ardal (SPDN) ac yn rhoi trosolwg o faterion cyfredol sy'n berthnasol i'r rhai sy'n gweithio ym mhob maes nyrsio cymunedol. Mae pedair thema wedi'u hymgorffori yn y modiwl lle mae gan bob thema ganlyniad damcaniaethol a chlinigol. Y themâu yw: Cymuned fel Cyd-destun Gofal, Rôl broffesiynol ac atebolrwydd, Ymarfer clinigol yn y gymuned, Y Teulu (safbwyntiau cymdeithasegol a seicolegol). Mae'n ofynnol i oruchwyliwr practis (PS), asesydd ymarfer (PA) ac asesydd academaidd (AA) gefnogi'r myfyriwr drwy'r elfen ymarfer. Mae'n rhaid bod archwiliad addysgol cyfoes ar gael yn y lleoliad ymarfer.

SHG3119 Nyrs Ymarferydd Cymunedol neu Bresgripsiynu Bydwragedd (V150)
Bydd y modiwl yn hwyluso caffael gwybodaeth, sgiliau ac agweddau priodol ar gyfer rhagnodi effeithiol diogel gan y Fformiwla Presgripsiynu Nyrsio. Mae manteision presgripsiynu nyrsys wedi cael eu hadrodd yn gyson yn y llenyddiaeth gyda thystiolaeth i ddangos gwell gofal a boddhad cleifion, mwy o fynediad at feddyginiaethau, gostyngiad mewn amseroedd aros a darparu gofal o ansawdd uchel (Coleg Brenhinol Nyrsio 2012). Mae'r modiwl wedi'i ddylunio i alluogi myfyrwyr i gyflawni'r cymwyseddau a amlinellir yn y Gymdeithas Fferyllol Frenhinol (RPS) 'Fframwaith Cymhwysedd ar gyfer pob Rhagnodwr¿ (2021). Er mwyn ymarfer yn gymwys ar y lefel hon mae angen i ymarferwyr feddu ar wybodaeth am ffarmacoleg a fframweithiau moesegol a deddfwriaethol. Bydd cwblhau'n llwyddiannus yn galluogi'r ymarferydd i gofnodi ei gymhwyster fel 'rhagnodwr ymarferydd cymunedol/bydwragedd (V150)¿. Bydd asesydd ymarfer (PA), goruchwyliwr ymarfer (PS) ac asesydd academaidd (AA) yn cefnogi pob myfyriwr mewn lleoliad ymarfer addysgol archwiliedig. Bydd y PA, PS a'r AA yn gweithio ochr yn ochr â'r myfyriwr i lywio ymarfer rhagnodi mewn amgylchedd efelychiadol. Bydd y Fydwraig Arweiniol ar gyfer Addysg (LME) yn cefnogi anghenion dysgu penodol myfyrwyr bydwragedd. DS. Os dangosir arfer anniogel ar unrhyw adeg, bydd methiant awtomatig yn arwain.

SHN3042 Research and Development in Community Nursing Practice
This core module builds on students¿ previous knowledge of research and aims to further develop their knowledge and understanding of the research process to include an appreciation of how practice and research are interrelated and its application to community nursing practice. There is an emphasis on 'action learning' approaches - which means that students are encouraged to read, notice and reflect on their practice and knowledge development and share their progress/difficulties in an educative, supportive and challenging arena (with other students, teachers, lecturers and practice teachers).

SHN3043 Enhancing Skills in District Nursing Practice
This module is designed to enable students to achieve higher levels of judgment, discretion and decision making in the provision of clinical care and to provide them with the opportunity to develop their presentation skills. It is respected that students have differing learning needs, learning styles and professional experiences; the population health need and the geographical base in which the student works often dictate the latter. This work-based focus module aims to encourage students to become more consciously aware of the need to develop particular areas of expert clinical practice and to provide some sound rationale for its development. It demands the need to plan, initiate and complete a period of practice in order to achieve a level of competence and to disseminate that development and new learning to their peer group, Practice Teachers/Sign Off Mentors and course lecturers. This would allow the student to develop a greater knowledge and understanding in an area of practice that is relevant to their individual need and that of the service user.
-
SHN3044 Developing District Nursing Practice
The aim of the module is to build upon the core skills required of a specialist practitioner to enable the student to evaluate and advance practice. The module will enable the student to evaluate practice in the context of policy and professional practice so that practice development can be initiated according to local needs. This will require that students have an understanding of organisational culture, leadership and change management, conflict and team working theory. The student will also analyse his or her own professional development as a result of the above process and will be supported through the module through Action Learning.

SHN3105 Community Practitioner Nurse or Midwife Prescribing (V100)
This module facilitates the student acquisition of the appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes for safe effective prescribing from the Nurse Prescribing Formulary making them clinically accountable for any action that they take as part of their prescribing role. The benefits of nurse prescribing has been consistently reported in the literature with evidence to show improved patient care and satisfaction, increased access to medicines, reduction in waiting times and delivery of high quality care (Royal College of Nursing 2012). The module has been designed to enable students to achieve the competencies outlined in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) `A Competency Framework for all Prescribers¿ (2021). To practise competently at this level requires practitioners to possess knowledge of pharmacology and ethical and legislative frameworks. Successful completion will enable the practitioner to record their qualification as a `community practitioner nurse or midwife prescriber (V100)'. A practice assessor (PA), practice supervisor (PS) and academic assessor (AA) will support each student in an audited educational practice setting. The PA, PS and AA will work alongside the student in guiding prescribing practice in a simulated environment. The Lead Midwife for Education will be involved in the recruitment of and will support the specific learning needs of midwife students. NB. If at any time unsafe practice is demonstrated an automatic fail will result.

SHNM24 Advancing skills in management and leadership for District Nurse Practice
The aim of the module is to build upon the core skills required of a specialist practitioner to enable the student to evaluate and advance practice in the context of policy and professionalism. This will require that students have an understanding of organisational culture, leadership and change management, conflict and team working theory. The student will critically analyse his or her own professional development in terms of self-enquiry and professional development. Effective leadership is essential for leading and coordinating complex care provision in a changing and often challenging healthcare environment. The module will be supported through Action Learning.

SHNM57 Applying Evidence & Research to transform Community and Public Health Practice
This core module will allow students, through a variety of innovative and technological teaching methods, to further develop their understanding of evidence-based practice, research designs and processes. The module will help students to understand how to critically appraise research and to work with evidence to identify gaps in research and practice. Students will be able to identify and consider how to develop priorities, generating new evidence for service and quality improvement. Students will be encouraged to apply this evidence to community practice with the aim of improving the public health of people, communities, and populations.
-
SHNM61 Leading and Managing Contemporary District Nursing Practice
This core module will give the student, through a variety of innovative and technological teaching methods and self-directed study, an opportunity to practice autonomously, proactively and innovatively by identifying a complex area of District Nursing practice, relevant to their caseload, through independently exploring and researching a chosen topic of their choice. There are five taught days and five self-directed study days to research and explore the chosen topic. The student identifies what they want to learn and through research, work based learning and questioning they present their learning journey. There will be a need to explore those higher levels of judgment, discretion and decision making as well as promoting learning for the student in relation to planning, initiating and questioning practice to achieve competence to promote new learning for themselves and the team with the aim of improving practice and patient care.
