Module aims
This module will enable you to develop comprehensive knowledge and understanding of health assessment from a multi-professional and inter-agency perspectives across health and social care domains.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the module, you will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of systematic assessment to achieve holistic patient care.
- Identify the principles underlying theoretical assessment frameworks and use a range of assessment methods to inform the decision making process.
- Demonstrate collaborative working by communicating your assessment findings to relevant members of the health and social care team to ensure optimum patient care.
Learning and teaching methods
For the 2023/24 curriculum, our PGT/CPD modules will continue to be delivered using hybrid learning. This means that depending on the subject and content of learning and teaching, modules will mainly be delivered via a combination of face to face and online delivery (both live and asynchronous), as this has worked really well for our practice-based colleagues. It is important to recognise the majority of modules contain face to face contact time and attendance at the University will be required.
Learning and teaching methods include:
- Lectures
- Discussion
- Workshops
- Work based learning
- Problem based learning
- Simulated learning.
Assessment
- Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)
- Clinical log
- Case study (word count - 1,000).
OSCE date
- October cohort - TBC
Attendance is mandatory.
