Description of module content:

This is your final consolidating module, and your opportunity to put all you have learned into your supervised practice opportunities. Please take care to attend to all the requirements of this module, such as the required clinical placement hours, to ensure that you meet the Academy for Healthcare Sciences (AHCS) requirements or your registration as a Healthcare Practitioner could be affected.Through engaging in a work placement and work based learning in this module you will explore:engagement with partners and people, local pathways, signposting, resources and records, professional relationships, effective communication, quality assurance, referral and self-referral, governance, monitoring and evaluation, physical activity and health opportunities, medical terminology, pre-exercise screening, pre-exercise assessment, functional and clinical assessment, targeted and tailored interventions, person-centred interventions, exercise prescription, data collection and evaluation, monitoring physical activity and exercise, monitoring clients, safety considerations; delegated responsibility, onward referral, professional boundaries, continuing professional development. You will be provided placement opportunities that will enable you to put your knowledge and skills into practice to experience the range of conditions and environments in the scope of practice with clinical populations. The structure of these may vary according to the placement host, for example, a single placement host may be able to provide access to patients with a range of health conditions, and to patients in clinical and outpatient/community settings. Whereas other placement hosts may provide opportunities with one health condition and in either clinical or community settings. In order that you are able to experience what is expected of our AHCS accredited programme, we work with a range of placement hosts that support high quality placements, and we have a dedicated University placement team, Student Futures, that help us to coordinate a high quality experience that meets our MSc accreditation requirements. In placement, you will be expected to practice in ways that provide a role model to others in terms of ethical integrity in both research and practice; upholding the highest standards of personal and organisational conduct, according the the Professional Standards of Behaviour and Practice for the Healthcare Science workforce, Good Scientific Practice (GSP, 2021).You will relate your work experience to the academic content of your MSc programme and reflect on the value of prior learning. You will focus on the self-assessment of personal learning outcomes supported early in the module. As you work, you will complete a placement log book detailing your experiences for each hour of placement. Reflective practice and critical thinking are key to your submissions for this module, as such you will also engage in reflective practice of you experiences as you progress in the module to enhance confidence and employability. As such, in addition to submission of logs, and a critical reflective report, you will also submit a video that evidences your applied work and demonstrates how you meet the principles laid out in the AHCS standards and the CEP-UK scope of practice. As part of the final assessment, your placement host/s will also provide feedback on your engagement and progress.

Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: With critical understanding of the principal theories and concepts related to the CEP scope of practice, create a plan for your placement/s based on identified personal learning needs and evaluate its efficacy throughout the 140 hour (minimum required hours) placement/s.

LO2: Exercise substantial autonomy and initiative in professional activities, and take responsibility for your own work.

LO3: Critically review, consolidate and extend your knowledge, skills, practices and apply reflective thinking in a subject/discipline/sector, and communicate, using appropriate methods, to a range of audiences with different levels of knowledge/expertise, e.g. patients, peers, academics and specialists.
