Welcome to this Module
This module facilitates development of knowledge and skills pertinent to the care of service users with acute mental health problems. The importance of assessment and the identification of needs is emphasised together with the process of engagement and collaborative working. Underpinned by a Recovery Framework; the focus remains on promoting the well being of the person.
This module develops the students' ability to understand the nurse's role in relation to caring for the patient with long term medical conditions and multiple pathologies. There are a vast range of long term medical conditions that affects the population of the UK and service users who live with them can be found across a range of primary, secondary and tertiary health care settings. They require nurses to have a good understanding of pathophysiological changes, diagnostic processes, management interventions and prognosis relating to both individual and multiple pathologies. This module is designed to promote the concept of independent living and includes the study of aging and end of life care.
This module explores and examines the evidence around the concept of ongoing/enduring mental health problems and focuses on the skills and nursing care strategies in promoting recovery and well being. It takes into account the legal and ethical issues surrounding community and hospital care, with consideration to the lived experience of service users and carers. A bio-psycho-social approach will be taken to ensure the student understands the nature of on-going mental health issues, causes and treatment options, based on the principles of recovery including physical health needs.
