The CPD learning can be formal learning e.g. Master class activity, practice based study days, project work etc. or informal learning e.g. reflection on role development or practice critical incidents. The learning can also be a collection of formal and informal themed learning, or the acquisition of clinical skills competencies relevant to the individuals practice. The module is assessed via a 2,500 word reflective portfolio which allows the student to identify and explore developing knowledge for practice and how this is applied to the Professional role and Practice setting.

ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW:

Students will receive formative feedback via tutorial support

Summative assessment and rationale for tasks

Students will develop a reflective portfolio demonstrating evidence of their learning; this will be summatively assessed against the learning outcomes of the module.
