Content guidance
Subjects students must include in their assignment
Knowledge:

You will need to identify specific psychological and communication theories or concepts and critique how these were used in the incident. You will also need to identify and critique the leadership skills used and what is meant by ‘management’ and ‘leadership’ in the context of your incident. Reading theory and evidence based literature on these subjects will be one of the key activities in your preparation of this assessment.

Skills:

Communication, self-awareness and the application of other psychological concepts are essential skills for good leadership and teamwork. You should evaluate the application of relevant psychological and communication theories when leading relationship centred care. The theory that the work considers will be led by the incident/set of events selected.

Values & attitudes:

Our attitudes toward other people are often strongly connected to the things that we value in life. The values that are important to the NHS have been made clear in its constitution (Department of Health for England 2015) and these are highlighted in the values identified by individual trusts.

The things that the government values in its nursing workforce (The 6 Cs) are written in Compassion in Practice (NHS Commissioning Board 2012). The literature that informs these ideas should be used in your critical evaluation

Reflective learning

While this assignment doesn’t require you to use a reflective model, you can do so if it helps you to structure your work.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own or copying from your own work previously submitted for another assignment. It is regarded as a form of cheating or ‘academic misconduct’ and is likely to result in action under the University’s Disciplinary procedures. You must ensure that you acknowledge the ideas and work of others by proper referencing when submitting coursework.

Examples of plagiarism

The inclusion in your essay of a sentence or phrase (or more) from another person’s work without the use of quotation marks and referencing the sources
The paraphrasing of another person’s work by simply changing a few words or altering the order of presentation, without referencing the source
The substantial and unauthorized use of ideas of another person without referencing the source.
Copying material of your own which you have already submitted as part of a previous assignment. This is called self-plagiarism.

self-plagiarism or duplication: copying work that was originally completed and submitted by the student and resubmitted for another purpose.

How you might prepare for contact with your marker

To support you in writing this assignment each student has the opportunity to submit a 500 word draft for formative feedback from their marker prior to the submission of the summative assessment. The submission of the 500 words is optional you do not have to do this, however you will not get any feedback on your work other than through this process.

You can choose which 500 words you wish to submit. You may decide to submit a detailed plan (usually recommended), a particular section or the first 500 words it is up to you.

Include a summary of the scenario or set of events from practice that you plan to use as the basis of your essay. It is also useful to identify specific questions that you have so the marker can focus their feedback to meet your needs.
