Independent Study

The Advancing Health and Professional Practice through Independent Study module allows you to explore and develop in depth an area of advancing health and professional practice. In negotiation with your manager and module leader, an area of new or continuing advanced study will be identified. Building on prior achievements concerning your knowledge and experience you will take forward an aspect of health and professional practice using the framework of an independent contracted learning. It is expected that this module will give you the opportunity to advance developments and projects in your professional role and to support new innovations, changes in practice and new ways of working. You will then spend the remainder of the module undertaking your study and writing up your work supported by an academic member of the module team.
