Course summary
This course is brand new to North Wales and has a fresh design that incorporates the latest digital technologies and platforms to deliver state of the art simulated and real-world learning experiences. The course: • Will work closely with local partners within health, social care and industry to offer student dietitians an inclusive, supportive and enjoyable university experience that is unique to the North Wales area. • Provides an exciting opportunity to blend the traditional approaches with the latest digital, social and commercial technologies and approaches available at Wrexham Glyndŵr University. • Delivers academic teaching and learning combined with clinical and practical placements over the three years of study to provide students with a variety of opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills and achieve the necessary competence to become registered practitioners. • Gives students the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in nutrition and dietetics through close collaboration with local industries in food production, catering and sport and exercise science. • Offers graduates the eligibility for registration with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) and full membership of the British Dietetic Association (BDA), which means they can practice as a certified Dietitian. This is a Welsh Government Bursary-commissioned programme. A full NHS bursary, including tuition fees and a non-repayable bursary for living costs, is available for this programme providing you agree to work in Wales for two years after registration (subject to change).
Modules
The British Dietetic Association outlines three core domains of competence for the Dietetic profession. They provide a focus for learning activities, the development of curricula and shared resources. Knowledge – including (but not limited to) anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, psychology, clinical medicine, pharmacology, food science and dietetic therapy for the prevention and treatment of disease. Skills – including (but not limited to) communication and the application of assessment techniques, nutritional analysis, research and evidence-based practice. Values – including (but not limited to) professionalism, safe and ethical practice, quality improvement, team working and leadership. These will be embedded throughout the course to shape teaching and learning of the graduate. Learning outcomes and experiences shared with other Allied Health Professions will have key themes such as leadership and research, motivational interviewing, professional practice and anatomy and physiology.
