Description for 2026/27

This module forms part of the traditional BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy and the apprenticeship programmes at Keele University.
Practice Based Learning B builds on previous practice based learning and content covered earlier in the BSc Occupational Therapy programme. It enables the learner through occupational therapy practice to further develop and apply knowledge and skills. The module aims to prepare the learner to work in diverse and contemporary settings whilst also developing transferable skills (i.e. multidisciplinary team working, leadership and advance communication) that can be applied in a variety of settings and specialties.

This module aims to offer learners the opportunity to further develop effective communication methods and apply the Occupational Therapy Process to a specific area of Occupational Therapy practice. Learners will also have opportunities to review and evaluate their personal and professional development.
