Description of Module Assessment

1: Competence weighted 0%
Computer software test of numeracy and drug calculation
This is a computer based package to assess the students' competence in drug calculations. time allocated 1 hr 30 minutes. A mark of 80% or above is required to pass.

2: Practical Exam weighted 50%
OSCE
This interactive examination in a simulated environment will focus on the students performance in two OSCE stations based on selected clinical scenarios and assess students ability to discuss elements of clinical practice and explain the underpinning theory. Students will be assessed on their knowledge of an additional complexity of pregnancy / neonatal period relating to either mother and/ or the neonate. Clinical skills will be assessed as well as the students ability to verbalise a management plan to ensure safe care delivery for the mother and/ or fetus and/or neonate.

3: Practice Based Assessment weighted 50%
Practice based assessment based on the Midwifery On-going Record of Achievement (MORA)
This is an assessment undertaken by practice supervisors and practice assessors as on an on-going basis of clinical competence and achievement of learning outcomes in practice placements. There are 4 elements within this assessment; professional behaviours, practice based episodes, proficiencies and holistic assessment of care. The holistic assessment descriptors assessment will be completed by the practice assessor, this will be translated into a grade using marking criteria by the academic assessor.
