Module aims

Through critical evaluation of current and emerging evidence on rehabilitation, (supported) self-management interventions and new service pathways, the learner will be enabled to develop, implement and evaluate multidisciplinary and person-centred rehabilitation practice to improve physical and mental health and wellbeing.

Assessment strategy

Essay (3000 words)

You will be expected to demonstrate understanding and synthesis of evidence relating to the module content. You will reflect upon current practice in their own practice area and evaluate evidence-based interventions, pathways or approaches necessary to support people experiencing long term effects of Covid. By choosing an element of healthcare delivery pertinent to personal practice, you will also demonstrate their ability to appraise person-centred approaches to rehabilitation and recovery. This will enable them to develop strategies for their use in the evaluation and treatment of physical, social, cognitive, psychological and vocational functioning (ILOs 1,2,3,4,5,6).
