Work Based Learning

Learning Outcomes

Learning Outcomes

Having successfully completed this module you will be able to:

• Critically appraise your task, from inception to completion, using your own reflection, your evaluator’s comments and the evidence base.
• Create, through design and development, your bespoke task using the evidence.
• Identify an appropriate allergy-related task and rationalise the need for its development.
• Demonstrate consideration of patients’ individual ethnicity, cultural, religious and social circumstances, and potential barriers to care as appropriate to your task.

The Work Based Learning module has been divided into the following themes:

• Agreement of a Learning Contract through which your bespoke task is formalised, based upon self-driven, independent study centred in or around your workplace or professional practice.
• Development of your task, supported by one-to-one discussion with a member of the module team, alongside group and peer sessions.
• Liaison with an Evaluator to establish a link with your workplace (or equivalent) and who will provide written feedback on the validity, accuracy and relevance of your task.
• Evaluation and critical appraisal of the developmental process for the production of your task, including reflection on your evaluator’s comments.

Assessment strategy

The assessment for the module provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes and to (1) demonstrate the depth and breadth of your knowledge for your chosen task, along with (2) showing higher cognitive skills and your ability to make sound judgements.

Formative assessments include i) completion of a learning contract and ii) obtaining evaluator feedback. There is one integrated summatively assessed portfolio comprising i) an allergy-related task and ii) a report. The pass mark for the module and all assessed components is 50%.
