Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in implementing and evaluating nursing care using simulation and clinical scenarios. Learners will practice assessment, intervention, monitoring, and documentation skills in a supervised setting to ensure competence in real-world patient care.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Comprehensive Patient Assessment and Care Planning — Learners conduct full patient assessments on simulators or standardized patients, formulate nursing diagnoses, and develop care plans with SMART outcomes. (16h)
• Practical 2: Implementation of Nursing Interventions and Monitoring — Learners execute evidence-based interventions (e.g., wound care, medication administration) and monitor patient responses using clinical tools. (16h)
• Practical 3: Evaluation and Quality Improvement Project — Learners evaluate outcomes of care plans, identify gaps, and propose quality improvement initiatives using audit and feedback methods. (12h)
• Practical 4: Interprofessional Team Simulation and Documentation — Learners participate in simulated interprofessional team meetings, practice SBAR communication, and complete comprehensive documentation including electronic health records. (8h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
