Written Assignment

This module will provide the opportunity for you to develop your ability to assess and manage patients with a range of problems, commonly seen in out-patient and community settings.
You will develop your clinical reasoning, diagnosis and management skills for patients presenting as an out-patient or in the community. You will be able to offer a critical awareness of your role in these settings, and how to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team to reflect changing clinical practice. You will develop an understanding of how to recognise the need to escalate care for deteriorating patients or for those presenting with problems outside of the scope of physiotherapy. Through case studies and practical applications, you will refine your clinical reasoning, fostering a holistic approach to healthcare delivery in out-patient and community-based settings.

Compulsory for eligibility to apply for membership of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.
