 Each
institution will meet the requirements identified within the consolidated
proposal for the European Nursing Module in relation to providing
material for use by students during preparation for exchange,
providing and monitoring learning experiences during exchange
and organising evaluation of learning experiences by students.- Initial
validation (where required), and subsequent monitoring of the
module will be undertaken by the appropriate bodies within the
individual organisations/countries in accordance with their established
procedures.
- Network
wide evaluation of the module, to which each institution will
contribute, will be an addition to any review process undertaken
by that institution.
- Subject
to normal hierarchy of responsibility within the educational institutions
concerned, the oversight and maintenance of academic standards
will be the responsibility if the head of nursing education within
each of the participating institutions.
- Each of
the participating institutions will identify a member of staff
who will be given overall responsibility for leading the module
for the institutions own students and for visiting students from
other network organisations.
- In the case
of a breach of module regulations or professional misconduct by
visiting students, a report will be made to the module leader
in their home institution, where normal disciplinary procedures
will be followed. In the case of gross misconduct, a host institution
may require a home institution to recall a student immediately.
- The participating
organisations will agree the appointment of a Co-ordinator *,
who will chair the annual network management conference, oversee
the administration of the exchange 'clearing house' and other
duties as agreed by the network. The Co-ordinator will hold the
post for four years, at which time the role will rotate to a representative
of another participating organisation. If, during the term of
office, the appointed Co-ordinator moves to an institution which
is not a member of the network, the term of office can be completed,
with the approval of the Steering Group.
- Visiting
students will normally be responsible for funding their own travel,
subsistence and accommodation. Where necessary, they will also
provide their own personal and/or medical insurance. **
- During exchange,
all teaching, supervision and advice within the educational institution
and the clinical placement will be provided free of cost to the
visiting student and their home institution.
- Each participating
institution will identify one person to be a member of the Steering
Group for the Network. This group will be responsible for the
overall management of the Network, will meet on an annual basis
and can vote on behalf of their institution.
-
 Each
institution within the European Nursing Module Network will pay
an annual sum towards the co-ordination of the Network. Any proposed
alteration in the annual fee will be subject to agreement by the
Steering Group. The financial administration will lie with an
institution named by the Steering Group and can be changed at
the request of the Steering Group.
- The Annual
Meeting will discuss the detailed structure, process and outcome
of the module and continue its development. If necessary, a participating
institution may send up to three representatives to this meeting
(excluding translators). Where the module leader for a participating
institution is not a delegate to the Annual Meeting, it is the
responsibility of the institution to ensure that those who are
delegates are appropriately prepared.
*The role of the network Co-ordinator may be incompatible with
that of Module Leader for a particular organisation.
**This may include gaining part funding from the European union
or other sources, either individually, through their institution
or through the Network.
