Syllabus

To participate in this module, students are expected to have engaged with relevant professional or managerial learning through a series of structured learning events.

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.

The group tutorial will establish the processes for the student to achieve the learning outcomes.
