Aims of the Module

The aim of the module is to enable students to analyse critically, issues related to quality of life for people diagnosed or living with long term conditions. It is therefore highly relevant to current policy initiatives including the management of long term conditions, self care and rehabilitation.

Teaching & Assessment

"I expected to have a better understanding of clinical governance and to understand the background to it so that I can build a good foundation for the modules to come…I have achieved my target."

This module is delivered entirely online through MyDundee (the University virtual learning environment). All materials are provided through this medium. E-learning offers students easy access to web resources and documents needed for their studies, as well as facilitating discussions and the exchange of ideas with fellow students and tutors. Anyone with access to the internet and basic IT skills will be able to use MyDundee.

4,500 word essay critically examining an issue from practice in which quality of life for an individual or group is either supported or compromised, together with an evaluation of approaches to assessment of quality of life and the implications on future practice of introducing such an approach.
