This introductory 4-week practice placement provides students with the opportunity to experience occupational therapy practice where they can observe and describe, with guidance, the ways in which OT professional philosophy and theory are interpreted and applied in a multidisciplinary service provider environment. The emphasis of this module is on observation of professional practice with levels of active participant involvement, particularly in information gathering, negotiable as the student develops confidence and the skills of safe practice. The student will have opportunity to develop basic integration of theory with practice skills. Professional suitability is assessed in detail by means of a proforma in which professional, interpersonal, and a limited range of practice skills are assessed.

Learning for this placement involves observation and active participant involvement under direction from the educator. The student is required to apply knowledge recently gained from level 4 academic modules together with an understanding of occupational therapy values and process.
A case study presentation can be used as a vehicle to demonstrate knowledge for the student and as an informal assessment tool for the educator. (This work will not be submitted to the University).
The student will need to achieve a client-centred approach and an outline of the occupational therapy process, together with an understanding of assessment; intervention and evaluation.
