The intention of the module is to enable students to receive formal recognition of the learning gained when attending structured learning events. The structured learning events must have a coherency from the student's perspective. The structured learning events could, for example, be offered and delivered by the School or be organised and offered by NHS Trust Hospitals or professional bodies.
