This highly successful course offers the opportunity for all UK, EU and international practitioners working in all health and social care settings to acquire the skills of critical enquiry and appreciation of the underlying theory and principles guiding your rehabilitation practice. There will be an emphasis on examining the best methods of integrating relevant theory and research into your individual practice.
What will you study?
You will focus on three main areas:
* rehabilitation policy and practice;
* critical practice in rehabilitation; and
* rehabilitation in context.
You will gain an understanding of the complex areas of government policy in relation to rehabilitation, and will look at models of disability and rehabilitation and their influence on practice from the perspective of both the practitioner and the patient/client.
In addition to developing your understanding of your specialist area this course will enable you to:
* develop a critical understanding of the key policy drivers in rehabilitation and critically evaluate the implications on your own practice;
* develop a critical awareness and systematic understanding of research methods used in rehabilitation research;
* develop leadership skills and advanced practice to promote effective inter-professional working and service delivery;
* critically evaluate your effectiveness in relation to the delivery of person centred rehabilitation; and
* critically evaluate and advance the most current evidence based programmes of care in relation to the complex and changing needs of individuals with a disability.
