The focus of this module is to prepare students for their role as autonomous practitioners upon qualification. This module also involves preparing the students in the use of evidence based management in specialist and complex clinical conditions seen in practice.
This module will use problem-based learning, expert practitioner and service user teaching to explore some case scenario bordering on evidence, clinical governance, continuous professional development and research based physiotherapy practice. The module will also focus on employability, equipping students with the appropriate skills for securing employment.
The module aims to enhance and broaden the professional competence of students, by allowing them to focus on an area of practice of their choice.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Provide evidence that they understand and meet the CSP’s requirements of the knowledge, skills, behaviours and values of professional practice.
2. Reflect on their own personal and professional development, and demonstrate their preparation for current and future practice.
3. Critically explore and continually review their scope of practice as well as that of the profession.
4. Demonstrate the ability to propose and clearly present innovative Service Improvement projects, which are justified and realistic.
Indiciative content:
* Frameworks for professional practice – ethical, legal, clinical, regulatory, and professional
* Clinical guidelines
* Using evidence to inform practice
* Reflective practice models and reflective practice
* Interview and Employment skills
* Psychosocial, ethical and cultural factors patients management in line with NHS Values
Overview:
The module will combine a number of different teaching approaches. There will be skills-focused practical sessions by clinical specialists (when appropriate), including the use of simulated practice and case based scenarios. Problem based learning groups will be used to explore realistic examples, relating theory and practice around different specialist clinical conditions. Other teaching methods include practice placement, seminars and individual tutorials.
Lectures by module lead, and invited guest lecturers.
Online:
Discussion forums will be expected to be accessed to enable effective PB group learning. Additional resources will be available via Moodle, to enhance student learning.
Personal tutorials can be arranged with the module lead at any time, with prior notice. The timetable allows for a tutor led revision session.
This module does not appear to have a published bibliography for this year.
