Description for 2025/26

The Learning and Teaching in Healthcare module builds on content introduced in Year 1 & 2 of the MSci Physiotherapy programme and enables you to recognise and implement best practice in teaching to education in clinical practice.
You will have the opportunity to develop and evaluate a learning resource inspired from specific aspects of practice experience.
The module aims to prepare you to work in diverse settings whilst also developing transferable skills (such as giving and receiving effective feedback, recognising best practice in education, evaluating practice) that can be applied in a variety of healthcare settings and specialities.

Aims
This module aims to enable the students to evaluate approaches to Learning and Teaching and their application in their own development, the supporting of peers and the management of physiotherapy patients and to develop the skills to effectively and efficiently plan, deliver and evaluate education in a healthcare setting.

The University undertakes a continuous review of its teaching and research provision to ensure programmes are of a high quality and changes may be made to modules where it is necessary and reasonable to do so. Please be aware that minor changes to modules, such as a change to an individual assessment, can occur up until enrolment, although we endeavour to give you as much notice as possible of any changes. Details about the circumstance in which changes are made to programmes can be found in the Student Agreement, available at: https://www.keele.ac.uk/legalgovernancecompliance/governance/actcharterstatutesordinancesandregulations/studenttermsconditions/
