NPAD6007 2029-30
Palliative and End of Life Care
In this module you will gain the knowledge and skills that are necessary to effectively respond to those with palliative and end of life care needs to provide timely and sensitive nursing care. You will develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding so that you can debate the challenges in end-of-life decision making and demonstrate a sound knowledge of symptom management in palliative care.
As a result of studying this module you will understand the challenges of delivering End of Life Care in all contexts including acute care, community and hospice settings. Your learning will focus on end-of-life care needs across the life course, encompassing the care of young adults with life threatening illness or injury, adults with long term conditions and to the care of older people with degenerative conditions and frailty. You will also learn the approaches that are necessary to ensure that all bereaved people are supported with compassionate care. -

Pandemic, Famine, War and Popular Revolt: The Apocalyptic Fourteenth Century
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse – War, Famine, Plague and Death – were believed to presage the end of the world, and many Europeans living through the fourteenth century believed this was close at hand. The Great Famine (1315-22) and the arrival of the Black Death in 1347 decimated the continent’s population and the effects of these natural disasters were exacerbated by the destructive conflict waged between England and France known as the Hundred Years War (1337-1453). Challenges to the established social hierarchy and demands for improved living standards also sparked a wave of popular rebellions including the English Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. Furthermore, the century witnessed religious turbulence with the growth of heretical movements and a split in the leadership of the Catholic Church between rival popes during the ‘Great Schism’ (1378-1417). Hence famine, plague, war, popular unrest and religious crisis are the principal themes examined in this module. -

Parallel and Distributed Computing
This module explores the linked ideas of networking and distributed computing, looking at how one can scale up to large computational systems using channels that move between nodes and between hardware and software. The course covers the fundamentals of networking from the data-link layer up, and looks at the ideas and algorithms underlying the most common network protocols. It then explores how these can be used to create computational systems that process multiple parts in parallel, using a number of abstractions. The course is intended to provide students with useable skills for performing large compute in modern frameworks, while also understanding the technology underlying those frameworks. -

Parallel Programming
This module looks at the various types of parallel compute devices available in modern systems, and how they can be used to either improve performance, reduce energy consumption, or both. The types of devices considered include multi-core CPUs, many-core CPUs, SIMD extensions, GPUs, NPUs/TPUs, and other types of evolving compute hardware. The particular focus of this course is on how to program and optimise for such devices, including analysing workloads for bottlenecks, choosing or creating parallel algorithms, and then profiling and testing. In most cases there will also be multiple types of parallelism applied at once, using combinations of threaded, SIMD, pipelines, and task-level parallelism. After completing the module students should be able to tackle the acceleration of quite complex programs, and realistically achieving speedups of 10x .. 100x over baseline implementations. -

Parity of Esteem: Bridging Physical and Emotional Care
This module explores the interrelationship between physical and mental health, focusing on the Parity of Esteem agenda and addressing healthcare inequalities. Students will critically examine the disparities between physical and mental health services and propose evidence-based solutions for integration, particularly in clinical settings where mental health nurses work alongside physical health teams. The module will emphasize therapeutic interventions for diverse groups, including those with learning disabilities, autism, and aging populations, and will highlight the importance of supporting families and carers in care provision. Students will develop skills in planning, facilitating, and evaluating therapeutic psycho-educational groups to foster psychological well-being and recovery. -

Part 1 Placement 1
This practice placement module is the first clinical placement the students will undertake in their programme. Across the nursing programme students will experience placements in a variety of settings including acute care, community care and specialised areas of practice. Students will be supported in practice to develop knowledge, skills and professional values. This will build on the theoretical knowledge and clinical skills sessions undertaken in university.
