BSC B939 Occupational Therapy
The contemporary practice context for the occupational therapy profession is constantly evolving. Legislation, policy, research evidence and ethics shape and change the profession overtime, as well as at times presenting new opportunities in terms of the way the profession works and/or who we work with. It is therefore essential that you are equipped with the knowledge and skills to work as a pro-active and innovative professional who can respond to the context in which you work. Within this module, you will draw upon the learning gained during 'Leadership in Service Enhancement' module, to further develop your understanding of the legal, political and cultural contexts in which occupational therapy practice occurs.
This module aims to develop your knowledge and skills in relation to leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship by adopting a national and international perspective from which to explore trends and contexts in which occupational therapy practice occurs.
On successful completion of this module, the [learner] will be able to:
Appraise emerging themes and trends in current health and social care provision, in order to identify innovative ways of working and novel settings for contemporary occupational therapy practice
Examine the philosophy and core tenets of occupational therapy in order to ensure that any such innovative practice is ‘occupationally focused’ and grounded in the profession’s established intentions
Critically analyse legal, political and ethical issues to determine the impact upon health and social care provision within the context of a constantly evolving global and multicultural environment.
This module is delivered 1 day a week in the Autumn term before PP4 and in the summer term after and PP4. You will draw upon previous learning and placement experiences to extend your understanding of the national and international influences upon occupational therapy practice. You will apply your learning by identifying and developing a proposal for an innovative area of occupational therapy practice.
Continuing with the developmental approach of the programme, within this module you will draw upon knowledge, understanding and experiences gained from previous learning and placement experiences, in order to further develop your understanding of the legal, political and cultural contexts in which occupational therapy practice occurs. This module will provide opportunities for health professionals and service users to share their knowledge and experiences relating innovative practice ideas. The interactive nature of this module is supported by small group work, tutorials and seminars which will form the basis of the learning methods within this module.
