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.
In this module you will explore and evaluate a range of academic and industry skills and resources that are relevant across the programme and for your future professional development.

By combining approaches used within academic research and the luxury sector, this module emphasises the importance of an extensive and well-integrated understanding of different skills and resources. As you develop applied knowledge of these skills and resources, you will critically reflect on your own professional development needs and issues of accessibility and inclusivity.
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.

This module is designed to equip students with the essential core skills to engage with higher-level archaeological practice within the UK and overseas. By this, we refer to activities beyond routine fieldwork procedures such as survey and excavation. The module provides a skills base for individuals to undertake the management of archaeological projects, from their initial design through to post-excavation analysis and publication. It provides instruction on how published, grey literature and other forms of data (e.g. from Historic Environment Records) can be effectively gathered, assessed and assimilated to provide information packets for Heritage Impact Statements, desktop assessments and research reports. Coverage is given to work with archives and legacy data (e.g. old excavation archives); the preparation of reports for publication, including editing, proof reading and management of graphic content; and academic writing, with a particular focus on preparation of archaeological texts for publication. Overall, the module provides a base essential for anyone wishing to develop a senior role within the heritage and commercial archaeological sector, or academic archaeology.
This is a practical module which requires students to evidence their teaching experience and development. Students are required to learn from more experienced colleagues, from their mentors and Teaching Observers and from their own personal reflection. The module runs throughout the PGCE programme. A portfolio of evidence and a reflective practice assignment is developed over that duration and is submitted at the conclusion of the programme.
