Leading in Health and Social Care

LEVEL OF STUDY : 3/6 - degree level

This compulsory module will enable students to evaluate their leadership skills and ability to facilitate others. By exploring clinical governance, reflective practice, leadership theory and models of facilitation, students will become more self aware and demonstrate effectiveness in helping others to learn, problem solve and develop in practice. Emphasis will also be placed on practice development, quality improvement risk and resource management. An awareness of current affairs, media and political issues will be debated in the module. Supported self directed learning and blended learning techniques will be utilised throughout the module.

Stand Alone modules give the applicant an opportunity to:

  • Return to study
  • Update in a new field of practice
  • Further develop knowledge and skills in the current area of practice

On successful completion of the module the participant will be awarded CATs points, which may count towards another award. Students may access a number of Stand Alone modules offered within a variety of nursing programmes. The modules may stipulate that participants must be working in a relevant clinical environment.
