Assessment 1: Presentation

Presentation

In this module you will explore how physiotherapists are involved in promoting public health and examine health promotion in relation to specific service user groups. This module will be assessed through coursework involving a group presentation. You will also have the opportunity to develop an understanding of healthcare delivery, as well as practical skills through completing a clinical placement. You will complete a three-week physiotherapy placement, which will be continually assessed by a clinical educator. Both you and your clinical educator will be provided with a placement handbook providing information on the course, placement and process of assessment, relevant to the practice based experience.
In order for you to practice effectively within the health care sector, you need an understanding of the variety of meanings attached to the word “health”. To facilitate this, differing theories and values of health between individuals, communities and cultures will be explored. Methods of enhancing health and related ethical issues will be discussed.
You will have opportunity to develop a basic understanding of inter-professional health care delivery within the National Health Service (NHS) and other agencies and how current reforms in health care may affect physiotherapy practice. The concept of professional practice will be discussed.
