This module supports practitioners in promoting person-centred care for the patient and their families/carers with a long-term condition. It provides an evidence-based approach to enable practitioners to critically review their knowledge, skills and understanding of case management of individuals with long-term conditions in the context of contemporary health and social care practice. Key concepts, policy and contemporary frameworks / models of care will be explored to challenge existing practices, deliver improvements in service-provision, and provide enhanced inter-professional and inter-agency collaboration between health and social care services, including primary, secondary and tertiary care.
This module will enable practitioners to understand the challenges and complexities of living with one or more long-term conditions including the physical, psychological, social and emotional impact. You will explore the importance of a structured and holistic assessment of people who have complex health needs and reflect on how care is provided. The module will consider the strategies and therapeutic interventions for monitoring and management such as person-centred care, patient engagement, self-care and care-planning as ways to support people, families and carers to self-manage their mental and physical wellbeing.
