The module will combine a number of different teaching approaches. There will be skills-focussed practical sessions. Case study analysis will provide authentic examples to relate theory and practice. In addition, lectures will introduce key concepts. Individual tutorials, as negotiated between student and academic supervisors and experiential learning in practice-based placements with experienced health practitioners, working with patients who have acute needs, will further support teaching and learning. There will be some student led sessions.
