Description for 2020/21

The module content will be delivered using a blended learning approach. Inter-professional learning will begin with a plenary introduction, followed by small group work facilitated by a member of academic staff. A variety of professions will be represented in each seminar group, and membership will remain the same for the duration of the inter-professional sessional work. Students are expected to undertake both directed and self-directed learning.

Aims

The overall aim is to develop the students' understanding of the critical importance of communication and teamwork (using root cause analysis) in the safe and effective delivery of health care. This will be explored through interdisciplinary analysis of a care delivery problem that has compromised patient safety. Individual assessment will involve analysis of a scenario from a practice experience environment episode of regarding interdisciplinary negotiation to optimise care delivery for a specific patient (service user).

Intended Learning Outcomes

evaluate their professional role, self-management and contribution to the inter-professional team: 2,5
initiate and sustain collaboration and team working with professionals from other disciplines: 2,4
communicate with their own profession, other professionals and service users and carers effectively and without ambiguity, using appropriate terminology: 2,4
explain how an awareness of patients' lifestyles, culture, beliefs, race, colour, gender, sexuality, disability, age or socio-economic status may influence the outcomes of any health and social care interventions: 2,4
demonstrate awareness of information governance and safe and effective use of health and social care information: 5,6
apply and analyse profession specific knowledge and begin to take advice from and give advice to other professions to solve problems in basic and predicable situations: 3,5

Study hours

Module content will be delivered using a blended learning approach.
Inter-professional learning will begin with a plenary introduction, followed by small group work facilitated by a member of academic staff. A variety of professions will be represented in each seminar group. Membership will remain the same for the duration of the inter-professional scheduled teaching. Students are expected to undertake both directed and self-directed learning. Formative assessment will be offered following submission of a group report.
It is anticipated that guided independent study hours will include approximately 69 hours of practice experience. This is derived from a total of 413 hours, averaged across all six assessed modules in year 2.

Description of Module Assessment

1: Reflective Analysis weighted 100%
A critical reflection
A 2,000 word individual student reflective analysis to assess each student's ability to evaluate roles and contribution to the inter-professional team. Students will be given a scenario from a practice experience environment and use this as an example to work through a "root cause analysis" using a framework recommended by the NHS National Patient Safety Agency. Students will analyse the negotiated process of decision-making required with other members of the inter-professional team (with the aim of optimising the service userżs/carerżs experience).

2: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio A: Professional Competency
Assesses those aspects of student competency mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to assessment of overall professional competencies undertaken during Practice Experience.

3: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio B: Radiographic Competency
Assesses those aspects of student competency mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to assessment of specific radiographic practice competencies undertaken during Practice Experience.

4: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio C: Clinical Assessment Competency
Assesses those aspects of student competency mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to the six mandatory clinical assessments undertaken (twice) during Practice Experience. Year 2 competencies: shoulder, pelvis/hips, cervical spine, lumbar spine, abdomen & mobile.

5: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio D: Placement Reflection
Assesses those aspects of student engagement mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to the studentżs personal and professional development during Practice Experience.

6: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio E: Oral Examination 40 mins
Assesses those aspects of student knowledge and application mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to abdomen, simple trauma (appendicular including shoulder & hips) and mobile imaging undertaken by the student during Practice Experience.
