Description for 2020/21

This is a year-long module for students undertaking the Applied Biomedical Sciences option, which aims to deliver training and education to meet partial fulfilment of the Standards of Proficiency issued by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), as given in the IBMS Registration Portfolio, and to prepare students for their hospital-based placement. Students taking the Biomedical Science route may also take this module as an option.
Students will look at aspects of the framework of healthcare provision within the UK and focus on the role of the Biomedical Scientist within the NHS today. Students will examine cases of poor practice from the Francis Report and discuss ways to improve the patient experience.
A reflective and problem based learning approach runs throughout the module and offers students to opportunity to study alongside students of other healthcare professions, to work together to provide the best healthcare possible for the patient.

Aims

To develop an understanding of the principles, theory and competent practice of Biomedical Science and the relative roles of different Health Care Professionals within the NHS.

10 minute group presentation and justification
A 10 minute group presentation on "The impact of patient identity on healthcare delivery." This presentation should be designed for a typical healthcare new employee induction event. Each group member should also submit a justification for the content and format of the presentation. Group size will be approximately 6 students; marks will be assigned for the group work and adjusted +/- 10% depending on individual justification

Online test
This paper will be released as a timed test in Blackboard. Students will find a link to this test on KLE on the day of the assessment. Once started, students will be given 3 hrs to complete. This is 1 hour more than we expect most students will actually need. International students will be asked to notify the School if they need an extension due to different time zones. Questions cover material from all aspects of the module. All questions are compulsory. Students should pay careful attention to the number of points that each question is worth. In general, we would expect only one or two sentences for each point. Adjustments We have added an additional 1 hour to this test than is ordinarily needed to complete. By doing this, we do not expect that any student will require additional time due to dyslexia or disability.
