Module overview This module can be taken part of a range of post-qualification postgraduate programmes from the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery. The module contributes to a programme of study by providing a foundation for a key area of practice for healthcare professionals.

The module can also be taken as a freestanding module.

Module aim This module aims to enable practitioners to achieve mastery in knowledge and competence in tissue viability. Competence in tissue viability enables the practitioner to offer greater effectiveness in wound care and potential health gain to patients. The module aims to assist the practitioner to develop a critical approach to their practice and to develop their expertise in therapeutic and educational roles within the field of tissue viability. The module also enables practitioners to continue to advance their knowledge and understanding, and to develop new skills to a high level.

Learning outcomes

Demonstrate an advanced understanding of the physiological and pathological processes which contribute to a range of wounds, and of the epidemiology of pressure ulcers and their impact on health care provision;

Demonstrate advanced knowledge of normal wound healing and the factors influencing this process;

Critically evaluate the principles and techniques of common dressings and other wound care technologies, demonstrating mastery in the application of these to relevant patients.

Demonstrate independent and sound decision making on tissue viability issues to ensure effective treatment and infection control strategies based on an advanced knowledge of microbiology related to wound management;

Critically evaluate the holistic nursing assessment of patients with wounds and competently plan, implement and evaluate a plan of care, demonstrating self- direction and problem solving skills, including the efficacy of treatment options, the role of other related disciplines and indications for specialist referral;

Demonstrate expertise in autonomous practice, and evaluate the ethical and accountability aspects of managing the nursing care of patients with a variety of wounds.

Critically evaluate research findings and clinical guidelines specific to wounds, making sound judgments and applying these to practice, thus enhancing evidence-based care;

Demonstrate expertise in the knowledge, skills and networking required to organise and support a tissue viability service, and the integral links between acute services and primary care;

Demonstrate expertise and initiative in facilitating learning and health promotion in relation to patients with acute and chronic wounds, and their carers.

Critically evaluate the psychological, social and cultural effect of wounds on the patient’s quality of life and their well being

Suggestions are given in this handbook and at the end of each session for further study to meet the learning outcomes.

Support in practice

For the duration of the module you will need support from your employer to undertake 10-20 hours of supervised practice, with your practice assessor , within your clinical area in order to meet the module’s learning outcomes and undertake the practice assessment. For the practice assessment, you will need to identify a practice assessor who MUST meet the following criteria:

Either be a designated Tissue Viability Specialist Nurse or have completed a recognised course in tissue viability and been judged as competent by others in the employing Trust

Be working in a clinical area that currently supports learners and where wound care is regularly carried out

The practice assessor form should be completed and signed by the practice assessor and scanned and emailed to [email protected] by Monday 11 June 2018. Risk In this module you will be handling patients with infected tissue material; this carries a moderate level of risk and you are expected to take all reasonable care.

Teaching arrangements

The teaching and learning strategies underpinning this module are based upon the belief that participants are adults with prior learning experience who are also experienced practitioners who are advancing their clinical career. The role of the lecturer is that of a facilitator of further learning experiences which will enable students to practice effectively within the changing health care environment. In recognition of the variety of learning styles, teaching strategies will include lectures, seminar presentations, workshops, tutorials, and demonstrations. Ideas have been given after each session to start you off on self-directed study but it is expected that at level 7 you will identify your own additional areas for further study. You will also use your own clinical area to consolidate and develop knowledge gained on the module with your practice assessor and to reflect on your experience. The original module management team developed this module with representatives from several local NHS Trusts, both acute and community. The team will continue to monitor and evaluate the module and respond to formal student evaluation at the end of the module.

Module evaluation As part of the university’s Student Voice Strategy, King’s uses an electronic module evaluation system known as EvaSys. This provides an opportunity for you to feedback on different aspects of the module through a series of pre-set questions and qualitative comments. At the end of the module you will receive an automated invitation via your KCL email account to complete your evaluation online.

Please take the time to complete as your feedback is important. It informs ongoing developments to individual modules to ensure that the learning needs and expectations of the Faculty’s student community are met to a high standard.

To strengthen the feedback cycle, a report summarizing the quantitative results for the module as a whole and the module lead’s reflections on your feedback will be sent to you after the online evaluation survey has closed.

Action from previous evaluations 1. Practical dressing selection session needed.

ACTION: now included 2. 15 hours of practice assessment not sufficient.

ACTION: guidance changed to 10-20 hours. 3. Moisture lesions session.
