Description for 2022/23

The Principles of Rehabilitation module introduces the student to concepts of functioning, disability and rehabilitation. Students will have the opportunity to discuss these concepts in relation to common health conditions. The module aims to allow the students to identify and explain the impact of disability on the individual and society and discuss strategies to restore function relevant to their programme of study. Teaching will be delivered by a blended approach with both in-situ, and online (asynchronous and synchronous) learning and teaching strategies to ensure that all required knowledge, evaluation and understanding of key principles in rehabilitation are delivered for all types of learners. The teaching and learning strategies will be adjusted for individuals as required by the academic tutors to ensure a student-facing learning environment. Additionally, there are opportunities within this module to engage with expert patients about the impact of their health condition.
