This five-week second practice placement, at first level, provides students with the opportunity to experience a different service user environment. They will continue to observe and analyse, with guidance, the ways in which OT professional philosophy and theory are interpreted and applied within a different OT practice setting and through reflection will develop increased
awareness of OT and multidisciplinary working practices. Again, the emphasis for this module is on a negotiable level of participant involvement in information gathering and to extend this to planning & implementing intervention, as the student develops in confidence and skills of safe practice. The student has opportunity to further develop understanding of basic underpinning OT theoretical frameworks guiding practice. 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 active participant involvement with direction from the educator. The student is required to apply knowledge recently gained from taught 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. For the student, this involves understanding the integration between client need and occupational therapy intervention (as part of the occupational therapy process) which happens within a multidisciplinary team.
