Assessment and Examination of the Newborn

You will be taught through a series of lectures, seminars, fieldwork and guided study, which will be supported by the University's virtual learning environment.

Assessment will include a written report and submission of a portfolio providing evidence of having completed 30 newborn examinations, 15 of which will be supervised by your mentor in clinical practice, and demonstrating your achievement of the competences needed to carry out an examination of a newborn.

Your module specification/course handbook will provide full details of the assessment criteria applying to your course.

Feedback (usually written) is normally provided on all coursework submissions within three term time weeks unless the submission was made towards the end of the session in which case feedback would be available on request after the formal publication of results. Feedback on exam performance/final coursework is available on request after the publication of results.
