Reflective Practice and Nursing Knowledge

Reflective Practice and Nursing Knowledge

This module explores the role of reflective practice and equips students with the ability to apply and reflect on their learning experiences. The module aims to equip students with the ability to recognise and reflect on learning opportunities in practice, including communication, teamwork and independent research skills. Students will consider the impact of the organisational, political, demographic and ideological context on contemporary nursing practice. The module will give students an in-depth understanding of the significance of power, language, knowledge, and relationship-based practice. Key concepts from critical theory will be examined, including the potential for nurses to act as change agents and challenge practice in institutional contexts. This will enable students to go beyond competency-based approaches and consider creative and transformatory practice models. The module will also explore with students the importance of developing leadership skills that contribute to the development of others and will identify and reflect on strengths, learning needs, and strategies for continuing personal and professional development. Finally, the module will integrate, translate and consider the application of established disciplinary nursing knowledge and ways of knowing in various practice contexts.
