Indicative Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this module students should:
1. Achieve the competencies set out in the Clinical Placement Assessment Form, Level 3
2. Demonstrate detailed or advanced theoretical knowledge and understanding in the clinical area through demonstration of advanced clinical reasoning skills and be able to identify and assess the service users’ need
3. Apply their knowledge and problem-solving abilities as part of the multidisciplinary team, in new clinical environments and using previous experience. With the development of advanced clinical reasoning skills, students demonstrate the ability to formulate judgements with incomplete or limited information to implement evidence-based treatment in practice.
4. Be able to work in partnership with service users, their carers and other professionals. Be confident in screening, delegation, and appropriate onward referral as appropriate for each service user.
5. Manage documentation and communication of the patient information clearly and in an unambiguous manner that adheres to the legal requirements of the profession within a multidisciplinary setting.
6. Engage in reflection on the wider professional issues, social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application and evaluation of practice.
7. Demonstrate the learning skills necessary to develop professionally in a manner that is largely self-directed and autonomous.
8. Recognise the need for effective self-management of workload and resources and be able to practice autonomously
Clinical practice on placement varies depending on the specialties available on site.
Clinical practice assessment is determined by the Clinical Placement Assessment Form under the 5 headings - Patient assessment, Treatment & Management, Professionalism, Communication and Documentation.
The portfolio includes the reflective essay, the evidence based clinical reasoning form, placement objectives, planned and unplanned learning, evidence of manual & patient handling techniques and the clinical log
