Foundations of Teaching and Learning in Practice - Level 7 - AC7109
Delivered as part of the Health and Social Practice Framework

Designed by a multi-professional team including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Nurses, Midwives, Social Care Staff and Medical practitioners our range of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is tailored towards individuals who are driving and enabling practice development in NHS North East.

Northumbria is the principal provider of nurse education in the North East of England and was named Nurse Education Provider of the Year (post-registration) for three consecutive years by Student Nursing Times.

We have excellent relationships with partner services in health, social care and social work and our range of CPD provision supports practitioners and managers to engage in professional learning and then examine how this can be integrated in the practice arena.

You will explore module content through directed, group and e-learning activities. Your individual development will be supported by peer, tutor and mentor formative feedback.

Assessment for the module will consist of a critically reflective account of your development as an educator. You will also be required to demonstrate your achievement of NMC professional standards for educational practice through keeping a log of teaching learning experiences and learner contact.

This CPD module is based at our Coach Lane Campus where you will have access to cutting-edge facilities with technology embedded through all aspects of your CPD course.

Northumbria University has been ranked in the top quartile in the UK for research power in Allied Health Sciences and Nursing. Additionally, more than 80% of our research activity in Allied Health Sciences and Nursing is rated as world-leading or internationally excellent (REF 2014).

This CPD will allow you to progress to a role as a practice/teacher educator (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Stage 3) and provide a foundation for teacher status (NMC) Stage 4.
