Course Overview
This course has been designed to meet the needs of registered and practicing professionals such as nurses, paramedics, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and radiographers.
In this course you choose the focus of your learning, giving you the opportunity to explore subjects that are truly relevant to your personal professional practice. Using the University of Lincoln 'Student as Producer' ethos, you will negotiate a topic, produce a written learning or project plan, and agree your own learning outcomes with the module leader, who will then use workshops, guided study and individual tutorial support to facilitate you meeting these.
How You Study

The content in the workshops will typically include:
- Theoretical approaches to professional learning as an adult
- Selection and synthesis of relevant literature

- Project planning and coordination
- Approaches for evaluating impact
- Negotiating complexity in work environments
- Self-efficacy and critical reflection
- Advanced communication
- Leading project work
