Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Online self-study will provide the theoretical background to the topics being covered, allowing for on-campus learning to focus on more interactive methods of learning (LO1, LO2, LO3). Self-study will also incorporate self-reflection to aid the creation of a personal development plan (LO6).

Tutorials will allow for critical discussion, analysis and evaluation of theoretical information. Scenarios and problems will be posed to groups, requiring you to work together to identify innovative solutions (LO2, LO3, LO4, LO5). Service users and carers will be involved in sharing their experiences and participating in discussion (LO4, LO5).

Group work will be set which requires you to work interprofessionally around a series of scenarios or problems which require innovative solutions and/or collaborative leadership (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4).

Student-led seminars will focus around the sharing and evaluation of ideas between groups of students based on tasks you have been set (LO3, LO6).

Academic Regulation F5 applies to this module, stipulating that a minimum of 80% attendance is required in order to be eligible to undertake the assessment. See the myProgramme student handbook for further guidance.
