Students also begin to develop skills in using evidence to inform practice. The course integrates theory related to professional practice and beginning clinical skills using flipped classroom approaches. Theoretical learning activities are aimed at integrating students' understanding of some of the social and cultural influences on health and healthcare and professional, legal and ethical responsibilities as a beginning practitioner. Clinical learning activities are related to developing safe foundation skills, applied in parallel to the above theoretical concepts. The course content will be delivered over a 13 week period, utilising flipped classroom teaching approaches in clinical workshops, theoretical workshop sessions, online learning activities and self-directed learning.
