Overview
This practice related module will allow in depth exploration of current developments in the health service that guides and shapes the provision of emergency care provided in the UK. The module encompasses current innovations and trends that guide our practice.
The focus of the module is for students to understand the drivers that influence emergency care and explore how change is managed and the complexities involved in implementing changes to enhance our clinical practice.
Students will develop their ability to critically consider key theories and concepts as well as the skill to engage in contextual debate. Alongside this students will be encouraged to evaluate the effectiveness of their care through a process of reflection and discussion with their peers in the module.
