Course Catalogue

Individual student routes through the programme will be determined by their professional need, negotiated and agreed with the programme lead. The pathway agreed will also be influenced by the students own area of professional interest. Core modules: 6000HEAL - Individual Study (Dissertation) 6002HEAL - Leadership Development Through Action Learning 6003HEAL - Research in Health and Social Care Option Modules: Suitable option modules totalling 60 credits will be taken. A pathway requires completion of all core modules and a further 60 credits. The choice of modules can be incorporated into a unique, pathway for each student. Optional modules: Palliative Care for Adults Diabetes Care and Management Advancing Tissue Viability Infection Control for Healthcare Paediatric Clinical Examination and Minor Illness Dementia Care Negotiated Work-based Learning Professional Studies Critical Illness Management NOTE: As this programme is a top up degree adding to their current level, students will apply for and if appropriate receive 240 credits for their level 4 and level 5 studies. Producing evidence of the level 4 and 5 study is part of the entry requirement. The student will therefore be receiving 240 credits of RP(E)L at level 4 and 5. In addition; The School of Nursing and Allied Health CPD portfolio consists of multi professional modules. The modules offer NHS Trusts an opportunity to further develop their workforce. A student that has completed level 6 CPD modules at LJMU, that also match the BSc, can apply for the BSc and have up to a maximum of 90 LJMU level 6 credits recognised through RP(E)L. An applicant may have studied equivalent level 6 modules to those offered on the BSc at other Higher Education Institutions (HEIs); for these students we will consider credit transfer into the programme up to a maximum of 20 level 6 credits via RP(E)L. All claims will be considered following the process outlined in the University RPEL policy.
