Leading Change in Healthcare is the bringing together of self-knowledge, expertise at work and formal knowledge to lead, plan and undertake a work-based improvement project . It takes a structured and learner-managed approach, maximising opportunities for learning and professional development in the workplace.
The module is also designed to enable participants to develop their skills as a reflective practitioner. It also offers a means of linking theory to practice and a means of valuing practice, as an integral part of professional education.
The module places control over the learning process in the hands of participants who negotiate their own learning contract with their academic supervisor and workplace mentor. The learning contract sets out intended learning and the actions required to achieve it and the evidence that will demonstrate achievement.
This module aims to provide you with an opportunity to:
1. Lead an improvement project in your workplace;
2. Tailor learning to you and needsof your workplace;
3. Identify and reinforce existing knowledge and experience;
4. Gain academic credit for existing knowledge and skills;
5. Develop research skills in designing, delivering and disseminating work related projects;
6. Improve personal effectiveness through reflection.
This module aims to support work based learning initiated by you, as a leader; the learning is highly practice focussed and includes the evaluation and application of evidence-based theory to practice improvement and development. The module offers an opportunity to engage in and critically reflect on personal and work based experience.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Display a mastery of complex and specialised knowledge and critical awareness of issues at the forefront of contemporary health care practice;
2. Employ advanced subject specific and cognitive skills in order to lead and advance practice in their professional area.
And, specifically:
1. Critically analyse and synthesise information from a range of sources, exploring emerging contradictions;
2. Synthesise and utilise knowledge to generate new ideas, lead and advance current practice;
3. Demonstrate advanced judgement in problem identification, problem solving and decision making within your professional role;
4. Engage in self-appraisal and critical reflection;
5. Lead effective communication and education with clients and colleagues in the improvement and development of practice
There is no specific timetable or content. This is negotiated individually with the student's allocated supervisor for the module.
The personalised learning outcomes for this module will be negotiated individually with students. The student will be encouraged to identify a workplace mentor to provide support and coaching via a learning contract. The learning contract will be negotiated at the beginning of the module between the student, the academic supervisor, and the workplace mentor, (if one has been identified). Personalised learning outcomes will be set individual to the student, but may be based on a relevant professional, employment or subject specific framework. There will be no formal study sessions, however there will be regular tutorials offered to guide selection of the subject area for service improvement and to discuss progress with attainment of learning outcomes that have been set within the learning contract. Learning will be supported by a Virtual Learning Environment (moodle) where resource materials, and activities will be available to students.
This module does not appear to have a published bibliography for this year.
