Course summary

The programme will enable you to study, at Master’s level, a defined pathway through the postgraduate certificate in community rehabilitation. The core modules are designed to link with your clinical practice setting where you will complete a supervised practice portfolio in support of your learning. Mental and Public Health will be threaded through out the core module, as well as the components of Advanced Practice (Leadership, Education, Clinical Practice and Research) in an integrated way enabling you to demonstrate these components in practice. There will be some element of options available in a choice between two of the three: Community Rehabilitation for Long Term Conditions; Community Rehabilitation for Health Ageing; Mental Health in Non-Mental Health settings. The programme will rely on your multi-professional credentials and there is an expectation that you will participate and support the learning of others throughout the course. On successful completion of this programme, the student will be able to: 1. Critically analyse and selectively apply clinical knowledge and problem-solving skills necessary to undertake holistic, and person-centred assessment of students within Community settings, taking account of relevant contexts, specifically in relation to Population Health and Mental Health, to reach a justifiable diagnosis, assessment, and management of risk (UNSDG Goal 3, Good Health and Well Being, 11, Sustainable Cities & Communities, & 12, Responsible Consumption and Production) (K&U) (S&OA). 2.
