Course description
hat will you study?
You will focus on three main areas: rehabilitation policy and practice; critical practice in rehabilitation; and rehabilitation in context. You will gain an understanding of the complex areas of governmental policy in relation to rehabilitation, and will look at models of disability and rehabilitation and their influence on practice from the perspective of both the practitioner and patient/client.
You will critically evaluate a research problem from the health and social care setting and develop a research project relevant to your own work context. You will develop your leadership and critical reflection skills. A research methods module will help you prepare for your research project.
