Indicative Module Content:
This module is aligned with the HSE QPS strategy and policy, and is rooted in the Irish context. Through the framework for safe, reliable and effective care students will develop the ability to self reflect, and identify strengths and defects, and proactively act on them. Students will recognise the significance of culture, the product of individual and group values, attitudes, competencies and behaviours that form a strong foundation on which to build a learning system.
A strong focus on the clinical learning outcomes is retained in this module, with a necessity to complete the Clinical Competence Assessment Tool, and the specialist competencies pertaining to the clinical aspects of the programme.
