Overview

ماجستير إدارة التمريض. MSc Nursing Leadership at Imperial University in Cairo: 6 assessed courses, 180 credits and 1,800 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit. The hours on each course add up to that total. The award is fully online. There is no campus to attend. This award is academic. It does not confer a nursing licence or the right to practise. MSc Nursing Leadership is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 4 Semesters (2 Years), and the credit total is 180. Students move from The service and the patient record through The service and the patient record; Access, flow, and delay; Quality and incident notes; Workforce and roster; Law, consent, and the limit of the award; Capstone: service file, and finish on Capstone: service file. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students describe how people, records, and decisions move through one service, and separate cause from harm. Reading is a pathway description, an incident summary, and an information standard. The artefact a marker expects is a brief a service manager could use, with the evidence attached. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Produce a professional file in Nursing Leadership Choose a method and write what the evidence cannot support Keep a record a third party can review Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer a licence to practise nursing, medicine, or any other clinical profession. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

Each credit is 10 notional learning hours. The courses add up to 180 credits and 1,800 hours. This award is academic. It does not confer a nursing licence or the right to practise.

S1ENP01	The service and the patient record The service and the patient record (S1ENP01) is a 30-credit course on MSc Nursing Leadership, with 300 notional learning hours. By the end, students can describe how people, records, and decisions move through one service, and separate cause from harm, using The service and the patient record as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a pathway description, an incident summary, and an information standard. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a brief a service manager could use, with the evidence attached. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course does not confer a licence to practise nursing, medicine, or any other clinical profession.
