Foundations and Context of Occupation and Practice - HFT2002

TypeError

This module examines the key concepts and philosophy of occupational therapy and explores different contexts in which occupational therapy is practised. Working in a group, you will be required to deliver a presentation discussing the wider socio-political issues affecting the occupation of communities and populations, supported by written coursework reflecting on your experiences of working as part of a group. You will also produce written coursework applying an occupational therapy model to an assigned case study.
You will consider the emerging role of occupational science and its influence on practice. Additionally you will explore the environmental and cultural influences on occupational performance and then broaden studies to include wider socio-political issues including occupational issues of communities and populations. Drivers influencing the delivery of occupational therapy including interagency and inter-professional team working will be addressed along with an introduction to some of the current issues affecting current occupational therapy practice. You will be expected to engage with the module material in a reflexive way and will be given opportunities to develop your reflective skills. Fundamental to both aspects of this module is placing the client at the centre of occupational therapy practice.
