Contract Learning for Professional Development
This module provides a means to create a bespoke learning framework to support the development of specific professional or clinical skills required for an advanced practice role.
It is particularly valuable for those who need to be able to operate in an area of specialised practice where existing educational programmes are not available. This flexible module is relevant to the role of the health professional who wishes to underpin their advanced practice with existing theory and standards.
This module is primarily self-directed by the student in terms of subject area and this will govern the main areas of study. You will receive an initial briefing that will include an introduction to the concept of contract learning and guidance on the module procedures.
You will then submit a referenced proposal that outlines your intended objectives and the means by which you expect to achieve these within the workplace. Examples of areas of study are; radiotherapy treatment reviews, video fluoroscopy and extended practice with cross sectional imaging.
