Summary of Module

Value for People, Professionals and Organisations is a core module in the MSc Leading People-Centred Integrated Care programme.

Utilising policies and theories this module will critically examine the constructs and contexts of effectiveness and efficiency within people-centred integrated care from a global, cross sectoral and interprofessional perspectve.

Students will develop a systematic understanding of using information and data collection tools in order to inform strategic planning and commissioning decisions allowing them to recognise their accountability in decision making.

Alongside exploring and contextualsing quality improvement methodologies, students will be enabled to facilitate, evidence and evaluate transformational change within health and care services.

Through contextualisng and critically reflecting on their personal learning students will continue to advance their personal knowledge and understanding and develop new skills in relation to promoting effectiveness and efficiency within people-centred integrated care services.

Students will develop UWS graduate attributes including critical, analytical, enquiring thinking and cultural awareness. Students will be research minded, digitally literate, motivated, creative and resilient, leading to success and enhanced work related opportunities.

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.

Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations

Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.

HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus

HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus

Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.

Learning and Teaching
The learning and teaching has been designed to enhance the master's level attributes of learners and stimulate reflective and critical thinking. It is envisaged that a strong student-centred emphasis will ensure that the teaching process will develop skills that facilitate lifelong learning.
Online Learning:
Participants will be encouraged to take control of their own learning and become self-motivated learners. This approach recognises the wealth of knowledge and richness of experience students may already have at their disposal. Discussion and sharing of experiences will be encouraged in order to capitalise on this. Delivery methods used will include module specific eLearning objects, case studies and problem-based learning. Our online learning will also utilise video, podcasts and other creative commons resources from a variety of key organisations worldwide involved in integrated care. Students will take part in a range of on-line student centred activities with the lecturer and student peers, via the VLE. This will assist in enhancing skills of collaboration, communication, presentation, problem-solving and critical reflection of themselves.

Every effort will be made by the University to accommodate any additional support needs that students may have that are brought to the attention of the School. Reasonable adjustments will be made for any student assessed as requiring enabling support strategies to be put in place.

Note(s):
  1. More than one assessment method can be used to assess individual learning outcomes.
  2. Schools are responsible for determining student contact hours. Please refer to University Policy on contact hours (extract contained within section 10 of the Module Descriptor guidance note).
    This will normally be variable across Schools, dependent on Programmes &/or Professional requirements.

Equality and Diversity
Equality and diversity is at the heart of the module – recognising that this is key to the student experience within the module. Through the hybrid approach taken the module is inclusive and supports the belief of fairness and equal opportunities across the teaching and learning, assessment, and evaluation processes within the module. This is further supported by any anticipatory adjustments and additional flexibility that is required to ensure accessibility of the module.

All students are encouraged to disclose disability and any specific individual needs is given consideration by the module team.

To ensure the module is responsive to the demand for equality and diversity UWS Equality and Diversity Policy is a key driver in the ethos of teaching and learning processes within the module
