MSC B93024 Occupational Therapy (Pre-Registration)
This final placement will require you to manage your own learning under supervision, fully engaging with the practice setting and its broader context. You will be required to demonstrate evidence of competent practice and readiness for transition from learner to therapist.
This placement requires demonstration of a highly professional level of skills and the use of critical evaluation and reflection to continually develop practice from a robust evidence base. You will be required to share your knowledge and skills. You will demonstrate your learning as you progress through the placement and summarise your achievements using a continuing professional development activity (HCPC, 2012) which has been agreed and negotiated with your educator.
Over a ten-week placement, you will manage your provision of occupational therapy in a specific setting. By the end you will be able to critically analyse and evaluate practice from multiple perspectives, self-managing.
1. Draw upon and critically evaluate relevant knowledge from a wide range of sources to demonstrate deep understanding of key factors within the placement setting.
2. Synthesise theory and practice for effective high level service delivery
3. Effectively manage self to respond to changing and complex situations and initiate appropriate action.
