Code: NURS11144 SCQF Level: 11

Summary of Module

Through supported cross sectoral and inter-professional learning, this module will build on students existing leadership knowledge and skills in order for them to critically examine the constructs and contexts of leadership within people-centred integrated care, recognising the principles of team work.

Students will contextualise and reflect on the assets within their own workplace and teams in order to appreciate the skills within the workforce, as well as explore wider networks for new roles. Through this, they will examine leadership opportunities and challenges associated with transforming people-centred integrated care from a global, cross sectoral and inter-professional perspective.

During this module students will focus on building their resilience, managing conflict within the workplace and across sectors, and further develop skills in leading sustainable change. Through exploring the literature, the experiences of others and their own role and development, students will critically review, consolidate and extend the leadership attributes necessary for the courageous leadership required to aid in transforming health and social care services.

As a result, the module will support students to extend and enhance a number of characteristics which contribute to the UWS Graduate Attributes of 'UNIVERSAL'- critical thinking, analytical, emotionally-intelligent, culturally aware and collaborative 'WORK-READY'- influential, motivated, potential leader and ambitious; and 'SUCCESSFUL' - autonomous, resilient, driven, daring and transformational.

The learning from this module will allow students to demonstrate the following Mastersness Skills - Abstraction, Autonomy, Complexity and Professionalism.

Learning and Teaching
This module is delivered as fully distance learning via a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Students will take part in a range of on-line student centred activities with the lecturer and student peers, via the VLE. They will have access to direct synchronous individual and tutorial support from their tutors and directed learning via the VLE system. This will be aided by asynchronous online discussion; virtual learning activities; tutorials; directed wider reading, including access to electronic library, e-books and links to external documents, government reports, international and national research, policies and protocols.

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. They will be expected to work through the module materials independently. This will assist in enhancing their collaboration, communication, presentation, problem-solving and critical reflection skills.

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 to the deliveery of this module it is inclusive and supports the belief of fairness and equal opportunities across the teaching and learning, assessment, and its evaluation processes. This is further supported by any anticipatory adjustments and additional flexibility that is required to ensure the accessibility of the module.

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

To ensure the module is responsive to the demand for equality and diversity the UWS Equality and Diversity Policy, see https://www.uws.ac.uk/about-uws/uws-commitments/equality-diversity-inclusion/, is a key driver in the ethos of teaching and learning processes within the module
