Assessment Strategy

The assessment strategy is designed to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge that they are gaining and the importance of relating this to the application of knowledge and practice.  

Thus, the summative assessment for this module consists of:

• Mental Health Nurses have a responsibility for developing mental health practice which works towards implementing the values and principles of empowerment and recovery. Using recovery literature critically discuss how the values of recovery are developed and integrated into professional practice. Discuss in 2,000 words.

• A plan/idea for the assignment will be submitted to the module tutor for review and feedback.


• Further guidance about the formative submission will be provided during the module.

• Oral and written feedback are given for both formative and summative assessments
