Course content
You will focus on three main areas:

- Critical practice in rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation in context
You will gain an understanding of the complex areas of government policy in relation to rehabilitation, and will look at models of disability and rehabilitation and their influence on practice from the perspective of both the practitioner and the patient/client. You will also develop your leadership and critical reflection skills.
You will critically evaluate a research problem from the health and social care setting and develop a research project relevant to your own work context. A research-methods module will help you prepare for your research project.
