Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

discuss person-centred practice and what distinguishes it from other approaches

apply the component parts of the person-centred framework to fundamental nursing care provision

demonstrate appropriate strategies that can be used to enhance person-centred communication
