Module overview
This is a core module for attendance and the completion of required NMC activities, skills and programme requirements. This module does not contribute to classification and will result in a record of ‘achieved’ or ‘not achieved’. You must complete all level 6 proficiencies and drug calculation tests to achieve a successful completion to the programmed year.
You will be required to complete a minimum of five continuity of carer caseload experiences across part 2 & 3 of the programme. This will be introduced early within the programme to allow time for the required planning and risk assessment. There is a risk assessment caseload document that needs completing per caseload. Each caseload will require a user feedback evaluation which you will then incorporate within a written reflection as well as add to your portfolio of evidence that will support future first post interviews. Appropriate activities can be recorded within your Midwifery ongoing Record of Achievement (MORA) portfolio of evidence.
It is a course requirement to meet the NMC standards of a minimum of 4600 hours of across the three years with 50% in clinical practice. The programme comprises 44 weeks of programmed activity to accommodate completion of Domain 6 of the Standards of
proficiency for midwives (NMC, 2019) as set out in the Midwifery On-going Record of Achievement (MORA) profile. By the end of this module, you must have completed 2475 hours in clinical practice. The total number of placement hours includes any caseloading hours you complete in year 2 or 3 of the programme.
This module can only be assessed when every course component is deemed to be complete. Once successfully completed you will be invited to complete the NMC Declaration of Good Health and Character, ready for entry to the professional register.
