Can I include case studies or patient examples in my assignment?

Yes, case studies and clinical examples are an excellent way to show how theory can be applied in practice in UK nursing assignments — with important conditions: patient identifying details must be anonymised (removed or altered); NMC Code (2018) guidelines on confidentiality must be followed; examples should support clinical reasoning, reflection, or evidence-based practice; and scenarios must be clearly linked to theoretical models and learning outcomes.

For example, for a pressure ulcer management case, include NICE references alongside reflections on how theory influenced clinical decisions. We offer support in developing ethical case narratives that integrate well with the real world while engaging critically with nursing frameworks.
