This is the fourth module within the Professional Practice theme. This module will focus on developing knowledge and skills for practice and increasing students’ confidence and competence.
Students will also continue to generate and collate evidence of personal and professional development for inclusion within their personal continual professional development (CPD) portfolio. This will use the guidance provided within the RCOT career development framework (2017b) and the HCPC audit process.
This module will incorporate a mixed style of learning and teaching strategies including tutor facilitated seminars and opportunities for developing skills through experiential learning prior to and during practice placements. Students will also engage in inter-professional learning within the University environment.
This module is assessed by means of:
A University based OSPE and a six week practice placement in an occupational therapy practice setting.
