This is reflected in the module learning outcomes. The programme has been informed by the most recent QAA Subject Benchmark Statement: Health Studies (QAA, 2019). The module involves classroom attendance both virtual and in person, which is further supported by a range of learning support tools. The module is part time and will run for 5 taught sessions, online activities and workbased learning. Sessions will be driven by student need. A reflective log will inform discussion and development of areas of need. There will be guidance from the Lecturer and peer support in class. The module is assessed by a workbased log of teaching, learning and assessment activities and a reflective essay. The criteria for admission to the module require the candidates will have evidence of ability to study at academic level 7, ideally applicants will have a minimum of a degree (level 6).
