Achieving Excellence in Care of Older People (NR3167)
The aim of this module is to provide health professionals with a work-based opportunity to develop knowledge, understanding and values which will enhance their practice in meeting the needs of older people; while developing a critical, reflective appreciation of the complexities of ageing in developing their capacity to make an effective contribution to the delivery of an inclusive service. The concept of life-long learning will be promoted through knowledge acquisition and reflection on practice.
The module spans 15 weeks and students are expected to attend 6 study days and contribute to classroom and self-study activities. The study days will comprise the 4 embedded workshops and 2 further contact days, the focus of which will be on academic development. Complementary theory and practice hours will encourage practitioners to develop a knowledgeable, enquiring and confident approach towards the care management of older people.
