The curriculum for the MPH Public Health is informed by the public health standards of the Faculty of Public Health and the UK Public Health Register. It is recognised by the International Union for Health Promotion and Education. These standards encompass the competencies, knowledge, understanding, values and attitudes required for the ethical effective practice in all the areas of public health. The standards are consistent with the competencies required for service and consultancy around the Sustainable Development Goals in global health. This MPH has global relevance to developing relevant professional and transferable competences in evidence-based public health practice. These are developed through this module, and applied in other core and optional modules, thereby supporting students to get the best out of their MPH.
This module focuses on another important aspect in education institutions - professional development and mentoring colleagues. This module begins with an examination of Professional Development and the processes behind staff development. It them moves onto consider mentoring and coaching.

The module supports the development of higher-level thinking and synthesis skills, encouraging you to reflect on your learning journey and evaluate how your insights can inform and enhance your future physiotherapy practice.
Module Overview: The module will draw on the theory of normal respiratory, cardiac and renal physiology and will consider the pathophysiology of certain conditions. The ABCDE resuscitation council (UK) assessment process will be utilised alongside current national early warning scores that are used by Trusts to monitor patients in a variety of ward settings. The module incorporates simulated practice, so that you can rehearse and practice the skills required to develop confidence to assess and manage an acutely unwell respiratory patient anywhere in a hospital setting working independently and as part of the MDT. Human factors and issues about communication skills are incorporated into the simulated sessions and by using debriefing for reflection after the simulation, the situation is explored in depth and from all perspectives: patient, physiotherapist and MDT. The simulated practice will be informed by real-life case studies of on-call scenarios from local Hospital Trusts and consist of a deteriorating surgical, medical, critical care and orthopaedic patient. The assessment and management of these case studies will be discussed and opportunities where possible to practice the clinical skills wherever possible will be given. The simulated practice will enable you to rehearse the assessment of a deteriorating patient via using a human computerised manikin to develop problem solving and also expert simulated patients so as to develop communication skills with the patient and MDT in the context of an on-call scenario. A debriefing session will be used afterwards so as to identify any issues that you may have encountered and facilitate reflection after action, this will also identify any further teaching that is required. Practical teaching sessions will allow you the opportunity to explore some of the more advanced intervention strategies such as the cough assist, and nasal intermittent ventilation NIV, manual hyperinflation and suctioning.
In this module you will select two options, each with a contemporary focus. Depending on staff expertise at the time of delivery, examples of the options include working in private practice; behaviour change; clinical exercise testing; global health; rehabilitative ultrasound imaging; amputee rehabilitation; working in the emergency department; paediatrics and facilitation of learning.

A key component of higher archaeological practice is the development of archaeological vocational skills, and the application of what is learnt at university in the working environment. The archaeological methods and skills taught at university have diverse uses, including industrial and commercial applications, and use in academic research. For students undertaking the Higher Archaeological Practice pathway the Professional Placement in the Archaeological and Cultural Heritage Sector module provides a compulsory component of involvement with one of a number of leading heritage institutions and companies, extending graduate education beyond the lecture room to placements in the archaeological sector and heritage industry. The module provides the opportunity for students to work and learn in one of their key areas of interest, such as in an archaeological unit, a museum, or laboratory. Orientation sessions will be held at the university for students to discuss module expectations and offer guidance. The majority of the time (4 weeks) is designated to time spent embedded with an outside institution, where students will work and learn about the archaeology sector and heritage industry and experience it first-hand. The assessed outcomes for the module will take the form of a report, project work or small exhibition, completed by the students as part of their time with these institutions, and assessed by a panel of academics and student supervisors from the host institution.
