OCT7014M-2022-23-T3-A OCT7014M | Advancing Professional Skills | 2022-23 T3 (Group A)
This module aims to develop your professional skills to enable you to be a reflective practitioner who is self-aware and has an appreciation of the importance of lifelong learning and development. The module also aims to develop leadership skills including your readiness to supervise and mentor others in practice (which will support your wider learning about leadership in module OCT7021M).
OCT7014M Advancing Professional Skills spans both years of the programme in four blocks, with students creating a CPD portfolio of evidence of their development, drawing on examples from university based learning and professional practice placements.
Block 1 and 2 run alongside Blocks 1 and 3 of the research module (OCT7018M). In Block 1 this module is allocated 3 days of the week; in Block 2 and 3 this module is allocated 1 day per week and Block 4 the module will be allocated the whole week. The rationale for the two modules running concurrently, is to enable you to develop an appreciation that evidence-informed and reflective practice are embedded in partnership in practice.
As part of this module you will engage in regular reflection and mentoring groups. Each group will consist of students from year 1 and 2 of the programme, with Year 2 students mentoring Year 1 students, facilitated by their academic tutor. Within these groups you will reflect upon your learning related to professional standards (HCPC 2015, RCOT 2021), share reflections from your placements and portfolio, and develop your ability to offer peer feedback/support and mentoring/supervision skills (each second-year student will be paired with a first-year student as a peer mentor).
Learning Outcomes
Critically evaluate and demonstrate a commitment to ethical, reflective and evidence-informed professional practice
Demonstrate the ability to reflect on personal and professional skills and values
Demonstrate commitment to life-long learning and reflection

Welcome to your final taught module of the course!
The aims of this 9-week module are to provide you with an opportunity to critically investigate current policy and legislative drivers which influence health, social care, charitable and independent sector services and to explore concepts of leadership and change management applicable to health and social care. You will explore the knowledge, skills and values required to improve and/or develop occupation focussed services and their delivery.
This module builds on knowledge, skills and values gained throughout the programme and feeds into employment as a novice practitioner.
The first 6 weeks of the module will be delivered using a problem-based learning approach to encourage independent learning, flexible approaches to knowledge generation, problem-solving, collaboration and teamwork. In the last 3 weeks you will have the opportunity to work on your own proposal, present your idea as a formative assessment and receive feedback on it before the summative assessment.
