How will I be assessed?

Assessment will be one of the following two options:

• Option 1 – 2000-word essay

Where students select Option 2, there are two parts to this task.

Students should complete a 10 minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions and answers with an 800 work supporting paper. Both parts of this task must be passed.

Students will select an area of perioperative care, examine the available literature to determine best practice and use this as a basis to critically evaluate their own knowledge and skills.
