This module aims to develop students skills in relation to leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship. Through completion of the module learning students acquire an understanding of the legal, political and cultural contexts in which occupational therapy practice occurs. Students consider occupational therapy practice in relation to developing societal trends, government policy, research evidence, legislation and ethics. Such learning is then extended by supporting students in identifying and exploring novel and emerging areas of occupational therapy practice. Leadership, management and business development are all included in the module teaching, in order for students to explore different service delivery structures and models (for example, social enterprise). Student learning them culminates in the completion of a patchwork text, which is focused around students chosen innovative area of occupational therapy practice, for the module assessment.
