Module - Professional Nurse Advocate HCPD7244
In achieving the standard and competencies required to undertake the role of the Professional Nurse Advocate (PNA), you will use the A-EQUIP model to synthesise how the role of Professional Nurse Advocate will be deployed.
You will contribute to the evidence base to demonstrate added value of the Professional Nurse Advocate and the A-EQUIP model to the service, organisation and profession, and critically analyse how learning from this module has transformed your understanding of your practice.

- Explore the A-EQUIP model, including the background to the development of the model and policy drivers.
- Examine leadership qualities and theories including leadership challenges.
- Consider how the PNA role facilitates quality improvement.
- Discover adult learning styles, restorative clinical supervision and compassionate resilience.
Learning will focus on clinical supervision; monitoring, evaluation and quality control; personal action for quality improvement; education and development. A portfolio of evidence will be developed around the four main learning topics. The portfolio will be supported by completion of a work-based learning competency profile.
How you will learn
You will learn through multiple methods of teaching, experiences, and the use of available resources to support independent learning. Within your workplace you will require a practice supervisor who should be a current professional nursing advocate and you must have the opportunity to observe and engage in a range of A-EQUIP related activities.
How you will be assessed
Formative assessment is by tutor-led activity reflective writing.
Summative assessment provides the opportunity to demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes for the module by development of a 3,000 word portfolio and a practical skills assessment which requires submission of a competency profile.
For Master's level study (level 7), prior study at level 6 or above is required. To be eligible to study this module, you must be a registered nurse with live Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registration. All students require the support of their employer and a named supervisor in practice.
