Foundations of Perioperative Practice is an NHS Scotland Academy accelerated programme. It is designed to increase workforce capacity within National Treatment Centres (NTCs), as part of NHS Scotland’s Recovery Plan.
This programme has been designed for registered nurses at career level 5, who have recently taken up posts within perioperative care environments or who are early career post-registration graduates.
Foundations of Perioperative Practice is a 31-week programme. It is delivered through a combination of workshops and work-based learning, and is supported by online resources. Learner development is recorded and assessed against the Competency Framework for Perioperative Practice.
Core programme content is delivered through workshops, which are arranged in three-day ‘blocks’:
These workshops follow best-practice educational approaches and allow learners to develop knowledge and practise their skills with the support of educators and peers.
Core learning workshops are followed by four Applied Learning (ApLe) days, which are case-based and speciality-focused. The ApLe days encourage learners to develop critical thinking and consider principles in specific contexts.
Ongoing work-based learning is completed in home Boards, with the support of clinical supervisors. Learners record their learning over the course of the programme, and this progress is regularly confirmed and signed off by supervisors.
Digital resources, including an online portfolio, allow learners to review and consolidate their learning and track progress across the programme.
The NHS Scotland Academy is an exciting partnership between NHS Golden Jubilee and NHS Education for Scotland to offer accelerated training for a wide range of health and social care roles and professions.
