Description This module enables students to critically explore how they are engaging with people in their daily work with regard to engagement, assessment and decision-making. Students are enabled to think and write critically about how they engage with people in undertaking both clinical and situational assessments. Critical thinking and writing about the decision-making processes that follow on from these assessments is also facilitated. In doing this students engage with the literature from nursing, psychology, sociology and other relevant backgrounds with reference to both clinical and managerial engagement, assessment and decision-making. The module content explores the nature of clinical and managerial engagement, assessment and decision-making within the context of collaborative and autonomous practice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Learning Outcomes 1. Demonstrate a working knowledge of assessment processes and their underpinning ideologies, philosophies and intended purposes in terms of their contribution to decision-making and outcomes in their defined area of practice. 2. Examine how theories of engagement, assessment (judgement) and decision-making inform and influence organisational activity, e.g. interaction with service-users carrying a particular diagnosis. 3. Analyse the processes of judgement and decision-making within clinical and organisational practice in terms of the notion of collaborative intra- and inter-professional teamwork. 4. Explore ways of engaging with the values, goals and motivations of others in order to develop collaborative competence in judgement and decision-making. 5. Apply an understanding of judgement and decision-making to critically direct their approach to reflective and evidence-based practice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
