This 20-credit module is designed to advance knowledge and practical skills required to plan and conduct an assessment and implement a management plan for patients with medical and surgical conditions encountered in contemporary cardiorespiratory and neurological physiotherapy practice. The module builds on the basic assessment and treatment skills taught in PHTY420.
Teaching will use a flipped classroom approach where you will review pre-reading and pre-recorded asynchronous e-lectures prior to the teaching tutorials ie. self-directed learning, and consolidate that learning in seminars and practical sessions. Achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed by a 6 week practice placement, a 1,500 word evaluation of a patient case study and a 40 minute practical assessment.
