All about the course
This module is suitable for nursing and allied health professionals working in a range of clinical settings. It may also be of interest to radiographers who wish to develop their commenting skills.
You will negotiate your own clinical learning outcomes and produce a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate that you have achieved these.
Academics and clinical experts holding honorary lecturer appointments with the University of Salford have developed learning resources and will deliver the teaching for this module.
Please note that it may not be possible to deliver the full list of options every year as this will depend on factors such as how many students choose a particular option. Exact modules may also vary in order to keep content current. When accepting your offer of a place to study on this programme, you should be aware that not all optional modules will be running each year. Your tutor will be able to advise you as to the available options on or before the start of the programme. Whilst the University tries to ensure that you are able to undertake your preferred options, it cannot guarantee this.
