BSC B939 Occupational Therapy

Module description

This placement will offer the opportunity for leadership, where you will demonstrate your practice based on decisions about how you work, using the best evidence, knowledge and understanding of the setting.

This placement requires the development of innovative and creative ideas for practice based on sound theories. You will identify an issue arising from the context, generate and evaluate solutions and apply one as a practice innovation. You will also have the opportunity to discover quality monitoring processes and the implications of these in practice. You will demonstrate your learning as you progress through the placement and summarise your achievements using a continuing professional development activity which has been agreed and negotiated with your educator.

Learning and teaching methods

Practice- based learning practice experience in a relevant practice setting. Preparation and debriefing workshop details will be available to students prior to sessions on Pre-registration occupational therapy Placement Moodle page. Students will draw upon previous experiences and learning to date to inform their practice placement. Students will have access to support from your practice educator, peers, personal tutor, Practice Placement Lead and student support during the practice placement. The practice educator acts as facilitator; mentor and assessor of the student's development and learning. Where two students are on placement together, they can provide peer support; opportunities for self-directed study and an increased depth of experience for all parties. You are encouraged to disclose any learning needs to the practice educator(s) and consider strategies to support learning. This is indicated on completion of the SWAIN form. Support from the University of Essex occupational therapy placement tutor is available to both students and educators throughout the placement together with support from other tutors at half-way tutorial.
