| Summary of Module |
|---|
Further enhance the competency gained after placement one. Placement two should allow students where appropriate to conduct some individual investigation. They should gain a more thorough understanding of not only the core areas of Environmental Health but also how they fit together and how multi agency/ multi-disciplinary working can effect case outcomes. Students should also gain valuable insight into the social and other determinants of health, which play a significant role in Environmental Health interventions.
A presentation of some interesting cases will be provided to peers, lecturers and potentially colleagues in order to evaluate the above.
This module will work to develop a number of "I am UWS" Graduate Attributes to make those who complete this module:
- Critical Thinker
- Analytical
- Collaborative
- Emotionally Intelligent
- Ethical
- Influential
- Motivated
- Resilient
- Autonomous

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
