Advanced Neonatal Studies

Module overview

This module will build on the theoretical foundation acquired from the pre-course basic science package and HLTH 6195 in order to prepare you to provide high quality neonatal care.

Learning and Teaching

Teaching and learning methods

The theoretical principles of adult learning underpin the approach to the teaching and learning strategy and you will need to engage in self directed learning. You will be expected to be proactive in ensuring your knowledge from previous modules is current and at an appropriate level. This will enable you to take the opportunity to broaden, deepen, and contextualise your learning. A variety of learning and teaching methods will be used including: • lectures- specialist subject lecturers and key researchers within neonatology will enable you to acquire a breadth and depth of appropriate clinically knowledge and experience • small group tutorials • online resources, for example, pre-recorded lectures, recommended physiology podcasts, and e-books • clinical group discussions facilitated by experienced neonatal practitioners • problem-based case scenarios where you will have the opportunity to discuss and explore cases both within groups and individually. These sessions will provide the opportunity for you to demonstrate your integration of knowledge, understanding and clinical experience. The module hours are divided as follows: Lecture 25 Seminar 30 Preparation for scheduled sessions, recorded lectures, wider reading and independent study 145 Total study time 200
