Understanding Organisations, Management and Interprofessional Practice (L5096)

15 credits, Level 6

Autumn and spring teaching

In this module, you learn about partnership with service users and carers, and collaboration between professions.

You do this through examining the policy context, theory and research evidence on partnership and interprofessional practice, and applying these to a piece of work undertaken on your placement (which runs concurrently).

You work in student-led learning groups, in which, week by week, you identify, research and share the knowledge you need in order to critically evaluate your own partnership practice – which also helps to enhance your experience of team-working.

Your lectures in this module introduce relevant themes., which you examine within your study group in the context of formally presented examples of your own practice.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 48 hours of contact time and about 102 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2023/24. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
