Marker’s Name: Rachel Cabral

Overall Strengths of the Assignment:

You have identified that you are discussing
teamworking in nursing.

You have some relevant information about
teamworking included in your work

You have tried to use referencing

Action Plan for Student Improvement:

Unfortunately, you have not demonstrated that you
have successfully addressed the learning
outcomes for this assessment.

I strongly recommend that you seek the advice and
support of the LDU regarding how to plan and
structure an essay and how to use supporting
evidence and referencing in your work.

It appears that you have not fully understood the
relevance of choosing a core article about
teamwork in nursing. You need to use this to assist
you in your discussion about teamworking in this
essay. If you are not sure what article to use, there
is one available in the assignment brief folder you
can use.

You need to carefully read the instructions on the
assignment brief and follow these to ensure that
you address all the requirements to b able to pass
the assignment.

You need a title page as per the assignment brief.

To pass this assignment you need to:

Write an introduction that outlines the aim of the
assignment, gives a rationale for choosing
teamworking and signposts the reader to the
summary of the chosen article in the appendix.

In the main body of your assignment you need to
address the key concepts of teamworking. You

have some identified – expand these and draw in
supporting reference sources that you have read
(such as other articles, the NMC code etc)

Make sure you think about the order and flow of
these points.

Reflect on how you will use what you have learned
in your research of teamworking in nursing to
develop yourself as a student nurse. What have
your learned, what skills do you need to develop,
how might you do this?

Provide a conclusion that summarises the key
points in your assignment.

It appears that you may have used one article form
the Journal of Nursing management and tried to
infer that you have read other papers, or you just
do not know how to reference. You do need to read
widely around your topic area so that you can
demonstrate you have good knowledge and
comprehension.

Comment 1

you need to include a front title page as outlined in the assignment brief. Be sure to include
this in future assignments

Comment 2

When you start an assignment it is beneficial to introduce the topic and then outline the
purpose of the essay.

for example:

It is recognised that teamwork is an important factor in the safe and effective delivery of
healthcare. This assignment will explore the concept of teamwork through the exploration
of…………..

Comment 3

You need an introduction that outlines the purpose of your essay and includes information
about what will be addressed. you also need to signpost the reader to the article you used
and refer to it in the appendix.

Comment 4

This sentence stands alone and as such has little meaning. By starting with ‘ensuring’ there
is an expectation from the reader that you will continue this sentence – as it stands it is
unfinished.

Comment 5

who reported this? This is where you need to pop in a reference to support what you are
saying

Comment 6

Reference needed here to support this

Comment 7

Kalish, et.al., (2010)

Comment 8

this does not read well

Strikethrough.

Comment 10

this is unclear

PAGE 2

Comment 11

less turn over of what? Be clear

Comment 12

is this the number of jobs? What do you mean by increases the job rate?

Comment 13

How can you be sure? Where is your supporting evidence?

Comment 14

what is the relevance of this point? It doesn’t seem to fit here

Comment 15

co-operation

Comment 16

This is a concerning statement. Nurses need to work in collaboration with their patient/client
to provide patient centred care (ie care that is acceptable to the patient and not just what
fits the nurses needs )

Comment 17

the NMC is not the correct reference source here for what you are saying/

Comment 18

How do leaders achieve this?

Comment 19

effective would be a better term to use here

Comment 20

just communicating does not achieve this. what type of communication achieves this?

PAGE 3

PAGE 4

Comment 21

as an adult and general nursing what?

Comment 22

try to use more academic language – this sounds as though you are talking to a friend “sort
out stuff!”

Comment 23

what is this? Where is the reference?

Comment 24

You have not reflected effectively here. you need to think about what you have learned about
teamworking and think about how you will take this forward in your role as a student nurse.
How will you develop and enhance these skills in yourself and perhaps others?

Comment 25

You need a conclusion to your work

PAGE 5

Comment 26

Why are you using the same article but trying to pass it off as separate reference sources?

Comment 27

and this one

Comment 28

this is not the reference for the NMC

Comment 29
no comment

Comment 30
no comment

Comment 31

it appears that you have only actually read one article and are trying to use this with the
names of authors within it as separate sources.

PAGE 6

Comment 32

If this was your summary then you have not used only one article and provided a summary
of it. You also need to label this as your appendix.
