Syllabus

Working within structured learning groups apprentices will explore personal motivations and aspirations for undertaking their chosen programme. They will begin to develop their knowledge and understanding of the nature and expectations associated with their chosen profession and how their profession integrates with the other professions.

The concepts 'patient/ person centeredness/service user and carer' will be explored. Apprentices will reflect upon and learn about the proficiencies they need to develop to enable them to work with service users and carers and each other.
Apprentices will explore how diversity and difference may influence wellbeing and practice and consider issues related to legal and ethical practice. Apprentices will be introduced to the key psychological and sociological theories which underpin these proficiencies

Social psychology and sociology will inform discussion about social influence and judgement attitudes and prejudices, pro-social pressure, social pressure and conformity.

Information literacy and evidence based practice will underpin the module. Apprentices will be introduced to the research process and types of research enquiry underpinning the evidence used to inform health and social care strategy and practice. They will learn how to find, evaluate and use information within the context of the key module themes.

Private study

Private study time will be spent reading literature and completing online guided study packages in preparation for, and as an extension to, work undertaken during the tutorials and preparing for the summative assessment.

Throughout the module there will be an increasing emphasis upon independence in learning.

16 hours will be timetabled for group work. Apprentices will use this to explore how their profession integrates with other professions and to prepare for the group assessment task.

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

The apprentices will complete a workbook (0%) while observing clinical practice that will support success in the learning objectives.

Apprentices have the opportunity to feedback on the guided study and undertake additional group work to extend and apply their learning.

Apprentices also have a formative workbook to complete during their placement exposure (in a different module) to explore service provision and third sector partners
