Additional Information:The outcomes of this module have been mapped against professional benchmarks; these state that the students should be able to lead a clinical team, initiate practice development to enhance quality care, problem solve and make decisions, demonstrate leadership and management skills, identify social and political factors, empower others, act as an expert, undertake audit review and assure quality.
Leadership and management skills will be developed though participation by the students in group-work and dealing with “real-life” work place situations and stresses. Students will be expected to keep a reflective diary enabling them to critically reflect on the process of working in teams to achieve the learning outcomes; they will undergo formative peer assessment and feedback.
This student centred, evidence based, approach to learning and assessment will develop key employability skills.
