This module is intended for students from a range of multidisciplinary health or social care backgrounds who are interested in developing and refining their communication skills as a tool for supporting self-management.

Background
Supported self-management enables people to develop the knowledge, motivation, confidence and skills to make decisions and act in relation to their health. This includes management of health conditions and promotion of their overall well-being. Health and social care practitioners can develop and apply advanced communication skill to successfully support self-management for client-centred health and well-being gains.

Focus
Through this module you will critically explore relevant theory to help you appraise and apply communication skills that promote shared decision making, client-led behaviour change, and supported self-management. You will have the opportunity to critically reflect upon your own attitudes and beliefs and evaluate how this influences the effectiveness of your therapeutic approach. Your critical exploration of the underpinning evidence base will advance your understanding of communication in relation to supported self-management. Evidence synthesis, contextualisation, and personal critical reflection are used as learning approaches to develop your therapeutic dialogue skills relevant to your own area of practice.

There is a strong practical emphasis throughout the module. This allows you to experiment and apply learning through experiential work, skills-based exercises and structured critical reflection. The skills-based content is heavily informed by motivational interviewing for behaviour change.

This course is designed to introduce the phenomena of heat and mass transfer, to develop methodologies for solving a wide variety of practical engineering problems, and to provide useful information concerning the performance and design of particular systems and processes. A knowledge-based design problem requiring the formulations of solid conduction and fluid convection and numerical computation will be assigned and studied in detail.

This module gives a comprehensive coverage of the classical heat transfer syllables, including steady and transient heat conduction, convection and radiation. While the underlying mathematics are properly elaborated, their conceptual significance and physical interpretations are emphasised and enforced through in-class examples. Numerical methods are introduced for problems in 2-3 dimensions and the use of commercial software such as AnsysTM is introduced. In addition to the traditional analysis of heat exchangers, the application section is expanded to introduce heat transfer engineering at different heat flux and/or temperature differences, with emphasis on energy systems and the thermal management of electronic components/devices.
