Additionally it will enable students to reflect and build upon their personal and professional development. Students will previously have completed all modules required for and including Personal and Professional Development 2/ Practice-Based Learning 3.

The interactive criterion-referenced clinical assessment will reflect the students' ability to achieve the specified learning outcomes of the module and their ability to integrate and consolidate their theoretical and practical knowledge in practice-based setting.

Students will have covered basic pathology, literature-reviewing skills and will have completed some practice based learning prior to attending this module. This previous experience will be built upon by using specific patient based problems to extend the student&©s clinical reasoning and patient management skills.

Teaching and learning strategies will include interactive lectures, workshops, and problem based learning, seminars and self-study time. Multiple methods will be used to encourage the students to extract information from a variety of sources. The student will use this information to formulate and apply patient management. The teaching and learning formats will allow the student to further develop as a self-directed learner and function in a variety of settings.

The module builds upon previous modules whereby students have been introduced to the research process, critical evaluation and reflection and experienced practice-based learning. The combination of these prior experiences will enhance the learning process.

There will be multiple teaching and learning strategies used within the module to facilitate the students&© differing learning styles. These will include formal lectures, student led workshops (including laboratory-based workshops) individual tutorials and self study time.

There will be multiple teaching and learning strategies used across the modules to facilitate the students&© differing learning styles. These will include lectures, workshops, problem- based learning. self-study time and the practical application of the theory taught in previous university and practice-based modules. Opportunities for multidisciplinary teaching and learning will be sought although the nature of this aspect of practice-based learning will be dependent upon the specific placements.

In preparation for the student to work within the NHS and other healthcare settings, current government social and health policies will be studied. The areas to be explored reflect the interfaces between health arenas; issues around health promotion, quality assurance frameworks and the utilisation of evidence based practice. The student will also be expected to address the continued development of themselves and the profession.

The learning and teaching strategies used include group activities, interactive lectures and formal lectures. These strategies link in with the assessment, which is a seen written examination integrating the key area&©s of the module and supported by a reference list.
