WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

It is vital patients undergoing surgery are prepared safely and correctly often within limited time periods. Crucially clinical staff must have a fundamental understanding of pre-assessment preparation to ensure associated risks are reduced.

It is vital postoperative nursing care begins as soon as the patient leaves the operating theatre. Before being discharged to the ward the patient must be assessed to check that haemodynamic and respiratory observations (such as blood pressure) are within acceptable parameter by a competent practitioner.

The recovery process continues in the ward, where healthcare professionals will monitor the patient for complications, promoting health and working towards the patient’s discharge from hospital.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
