Assessment Strategy

The assessment strategy is designed to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate the student's in-depth knowledge and awareness in relation to the modules learning outcomes.

Thus, the summative assessment for this module consists of a 3000 word essay

Students will present a study of a patient / patient client group and critically analyse and evaluate the way in which services to support their health and social care needs are organised, delivered and managed. The focus of the essay should be on your professional field and will conclude with recommendations for practice.

Students will be expected to critically evaluate the key issues in the management of long term conditions.

Formative assessment

Students will have the opportunity during the module to address the requirements for the summative assessment through an assignment guideline session with Q & As. Students will also be given the opportunity to present an essay plan either in a tutorial or by email.

Module aims

• This module invites students to critically review their knowledge, skills and understanding of the management of long term conditions and reflect on how care is provided for these clients. This will be achieved through analysing key concepts and models of care and by challenging existing practices. Students will explore and debate new and contemporary ways of managing long term conditions which could deliver improvements in the care of this client group.

Methods of Teaching / Learning

The learning and teaching strategy is designed to: explore their knowledge and understanding of long term conditions and contextualise knowledge and understanding to a specific area of practice.

 

The learning from lectures and seminars will be explored and developed through the use of scenario based workshops and group work. This will enable the student to develop relevant skills and knowledge that is supported with structured feedback.

 

The learning and teaching methods include:

 

• 
  lectures
  


• 
  seminars
  


• 
  e-learning
  


• 
  discussion
  


• 
  case studies/scenarios
  


• 
  groupwork
  


• self-directed study

Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
