The curriculum will encompass the key NHS and policy drivers and thoughts on present and future practice delivery. This will be drawn from consultation and collaboration with local Trusts and external stakeholders to anticipate the competencies and capabilities you require to prepare for the future and take on different roles.

 

The programme aligns with the local needs of a largely rural community by being underpinned by a community/primary care focus while fulfilling the Standards of Education and Training (SETs) and Standards of Proficiency (SOPs) required by the Health and Care Professions Council and the Royal College of Occupational Therapists.

 

The pillars of the programme are:

• Behaviours, Knowledge and Skills: you will cover the biological, physical, psychological, behavioural, and sociological underpinnings of occupational science and personal skills for promoting effective working relationships with patients, carers, and colleagues, working in a changing healthcare environment and a more global healthcare context.
