This modular subject will equip students with knowledge and skills to support the
advancement of their clinical practice and professional careers. This subject will
foster professional development relevant to a variety of specialist and emerging practice
domains. The learning activities within the subject will enable in-depth critical
examination of the complexities of contemporary and future occupational therapy clinical
practice. All students will undertake a core module focusing on the development of
professional growth, resilience and employability within contemporary and emerging
practice contexts. As part of this, students will engage in a process of targeted
reflection in relation to their personal and professional strengths as well as areas
for further development. This reflective process will be later drawn on in a series
of practice area specific elective modules in order to enable students to situate,
personalise and enrich their professional development.
Learning Outcomes
