PHYSIOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT 2: CARDIORESPIRATORY THEME

INTRODUCTION

This handbook will give you more information about the Second year of the undergraduate physiotherapy programme. It includes more about the content and structure of the academic units, the practice education units and relevant assessment procedures. This handbook should be used in conjunction with your programme handbook (available on Moodle), which gives an overview of the three years of the programme and includes detail of administration and regulations. You will be given additional information about content, delivery, and the relevant learning resources/reading lists for each specific unit at the time that a unit runs. Please note it is important that you keep all handbooks and any other supplementary information that relates to the physiotherapy programme. If you wish to work abroad as a physiotherapist at any time you will be required to provide extensive information about your education and training when applying to overseas organisations for professional registration. Guidance on conduct and ethics for students This document is available from the HCPC website. The HCPC require the highest standards of personal and professional conduct from its registrants. Those who do not match the standards required may be subject to disciplinary action by the HCPC through its fitness to practice processes and in the most serious cases, the HCPC will remove individuals who do not meet their standards from the register. If removed from the register, the individual can no longer use the title ‘physiotherapist’ and cannot be employed in the NHS. The HCPC consider conduct and character as part of their scrutiny of applicants for registration. It is important that your conduct matches their expectations throughout your programme of study. Your conduct and behaviour during and outside of the programme of study may affect whether or not the HCPC accept you onto the register. We ask that you read the whole document – and particularly, the following requirements:

• You should make sure that your conduct and behaviour does not damage public trust and confidence in your profession
• You should follow your education provider’s or practice placement provider’s policy on attendance.
• You should make sure that all attendance, achievement and assessment records are completed accurately and truthfully.
• You should reference other people’s work appropriately and not pass it off as your own.
• You should provide constructive feedback on the quality of your teaching and learning experience in both the education and practice placement setting.

• You should provide, as soon as possible, any important information about your conduct, competence or health to your education provider and practice placement provider
• You should tell your education provider, as soon as possible, if you are charged with, convicted of, or accept a caution for, any offence
• You should co-operate with any investigation into your conduct or competence. Social networking sites The HCPC, CSP and NHS Employers publish guidance for registrants/members/employees on the use of social media. We strongly suggest that you modify the privacy settings on Facebook/Instagram (if you have accounts) so that your posts are not public and can only be seen by friends (and not by friends of friends). Consider carefully before accepting friend requests. The HCPC state that
• You should make sure that when you use the sites, your usage is consistent with the standards that we set. The relevant standards from the standards of conduct, performance and ethics are as follows.
• You must act in the best interests of service users.
• You must respect the confidentiality of service users.
• You must keep high standards of personal conduct.
• You must behave with honesty and integrity and make sure that your behaviour does not damage the public’s confidence in you or your profession.
• It is not uncommon for students to use social networking sites to share their experiences of the physiotherapy programme. However, it is important that you note the following. The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy; Codes of Professional Values and Behaviour (CSP, 2011) are very clear in terms of the standards of personal conduct expected of a member. The Health Professions Council Standards for Performance, Conduct and Ethics (HCPC, 2016) place similar stringent requirements on personal and professional behaviour.
• "PROMOTE AND UPHOLD INDIVIDUALS’ RIGHTS AND CHOICES, INCLUDING THEIR RIGHT NOT TO CONSENT TO DECISIONS OR ACTIONS AFFECTING THEM."

• Patients have the right to self-determine. In clinical practice, it is not uncommon for patients to make choices that do not seem to us to be the best. Our subjective opinions regarding the choices that patients have made during the working day should not feature on any posting to a social networking site. It is not difficult to access pages that subscribers believe to be secure. Everyone that accesses a page on a social networking site is a potential patient. It is important that all potential patients are confident that they will have their rights, dignity and individual sensibilities respected and upheld. It would be inappropriate to post any material that would tarnish the reputation of the profession or public perceptions of the profession in any way. Before you post, share a post, retweet or ‘like’ the posts of others; consider how the post might be interpreted. Read your comment carefully so that you can be confident that you are not inadvertently expressing an opinion or supporting a view that is subjective/judgemental, defamatory, or discriminatory in the context of characteristics that are protected by the Equality Act 2010 (age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy/maternity, race, religion/belief, sex and sexual orientation). “Consult with colleagues and share information appropriately, respecting confidentiality, in line with individuals’ interests and needs.” Consequently, no information that relates to the health or circumstances of any patient or colleague that you either encounter, or treat because of your participation in the BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy programme should ever appear in the context of a social networking site. Even though you may make efforts to conceal the identity of the patient/colleague it may still be possible to identify them and this would constitute a breach of the rule, even though this breach occurred during your leisure time. "Respect colleagues’ perspectives and contribution." There have been instances where a student's experiences with a colleague on clinical placement have been shared with other subscribers to social networking sites. These sometimes-negative evaluations have thereafter been accessed by the other parties involved. This is potentially defamation and could leave you open to litigation or the disciplinary procedures of the statutory/professional body or the university. Your own experiences of a colleague are intensely personal, and may be different to the perceptions of others. It is entirely inappropriate to publish your own subjective or judgmental opinions of the personality or expertise of any colleague in clinical or academic practice. If there are issues, these should be addressed in a professional way through the appropriate channels. "Recognise the potential impact of their personal behaviour, life-style and activity outside work on their physiotherapy role…" Remember that as you join the programme you are required to match the Rules, Standards and Codes of the profession and the requirements of the Health and Care Professions Council. Any post on a social networking site that might injure the reputation of the profession may leave you open to the disciplinary procedures of the professional body (if you are a student member) or the professional suitability processes of the university and may impact on your suitability for registration as a physiotherapist with the Health and Care Professions Council. Please remember that aspects of behaviour outside professional practice have the potential to impact on professional suitability and students’ eligibility to remain on the programme may be at risk if they are considered to have been in breach of

Professional/Statutory/Regulatory Body requirements for standards of personal ethics and behaviour. You should also consult: Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (201 8 ) publication ‘ Social media guidance [online] [accessed 14 August 2018] https://www.csp.org.uk/system/files/documents/2018- 07/08_social_media_1.pdf Health Professions Council (2016) document ‘ Guidance on conduct and ethics for students’ [online] [accessed 14 August 2018] http://www.hpc- uk.org/assets/documents/10002C16Guidanceonconductandethicsforstudents.pdf HCPC (n.d.) “Focus on standards: social networking sites” [online] [accessed 14 August 2018 ] http://www.hcpc-uk.org/Assets/documents/100035B7Social_media_guidance.pdf NHS England (2014) ‘An introduction to: using social media during your career.’ [online] [accessed 14 August 2018] http://www.nhsemployers.org/~/media/Employers/Documents/Campaigns/Using%20social %20media%20during%20your%20career.pdf Audio/video recording of taught sessions Audio capture: lectures Some students are entitled to record (audio) lectures as a reasonable adjustment where they have a specific learning need. If a student’s personal learning plan indicates that this reasonable adjustment should be made for them, then permission will usually be given. However: As a matter of professional courtesy, please ask the person who is delivering the session for permission to do so.

• The audio recording would be for the individual student’s personal use only. The audio recording should not be shared with any other person (unless this is for transcription as part of reasonable adjustment), either by broadcast or by file sharing.
• Audio recordings should NEVER be uploaded to file sharing sites or social media sites. Students who upload files without express, written consent of the person whose session was recorded may be subject to disciplinary procedures. Please note that lecture-capture will be available to all students in some units from September 2018 Audio capture: tutorials The general rule is that no recordings of any kind should be made during a tutorial or a seminar unless a member of staff specifically indicates that this may be done. Tutorials/seminars are interactive and the audio recording would include the contribution of other members of the group OR might include potentially sensitive/personal information that must remain confidential.

Video/still image capture The general rule is that no recordings of this kind should be made unless a member of staff specifically indicates that this may be done. Students are reminded that there are podcast videos available on Moodle and on MMUTube and study packs will refer to them/direct students to them as part of independent study. The programme team consider that video recording is not necessary during practical skills sessions.

• Video recording is not usually listed as a ‘reasonable adjustment’ on students’ personal learning plans
• Video recording is expressly prohibited without informed consent (in advance) of the person who is demonstrating a technique and any other individual whose image may appear in the clip (model, other observers)
• Video capture without the consent of the lecturer/others whose image appears in the clip is considered to be an invasion of privacy.
• Lecturers are within their rights to decline to be videoed without prejudice
• If consent is given, it must not be considered as open-ended. If a further capture is considered, consent must be re-established on a per-clip basis,
• Any video capture would be for the individual student’s personal use only. The video recording should not be shared with any other person, either by broadcast or by file sharing Video recordings should NEVER be uploaded to file sharing sites or social media sites. Students who upload files without express, written consent of the person(s) whose session was recorded/all others whose image appears in a clip may be subject to disciplinary procedures.

Term dates Please note that in the second year of the programme the term dates for the spring and summer terms DO NOT MATCH standard university term dates. Table 1 - Term dates autumn term Term 1 (Autumn) Term starts Monday 1 7 th^ September 201 8 Teaching begins Tuesday 2 5 th^ September 201 8 Term ends Friday 1 4 th^ December 201 8 Table 2 Term dates spring term (NON- STANDARD) Term 2 (Spring) Term starts Monday 7th^ January 2019 Practice placement 1 starts Monday 4 th^ February 201 9 Term ends (placement 1 ends) Friday 8 th^ March 201 9 Table 3 Term dates summer term (BSc Hons Physiotherapy second year ONLY) Term 3 (Summer) Term starts Monday 2 5 th^ March 201 9 Placement 3 ends Friday 7th^ June 2019 Term ends Friday 2 1 st^ June 201 9 You will notice that placements finish before the term does. For most of you this means that vacations start on Friday 7 th^ June 201 9. Placement availability may require some students to attend beyond Friday 7 th^ June 201 9. Some of you may be required to remain with us for a few weeks more. Practice placement 1 Please note that participation in the practice placements 1 unit of the programme is conditional on passing all elements of assessment in the preceding unit (physiotherapy management 2) in the second year of the programme AND successful completion of practice placement 0 in the first year of the programme. Students who do not achieve a mark of ≥ 35 for Physiotherapy management 2: cardiorespiratory theme, a mark of ≥40 Physiotherapy management 2: musculoskeletal theme and Physiotherapy Management 2: neurology theme will automatically defer practice placements 1: Area 1. Students who delay the start of practice placements will have

to complete their placements during the summer vacation to match the requirements for progression into the third year of the programme. Table 4 Placement dates - practice placements 1: Area 1 Practice Placements 1: Area 1 Placement starts Monday 4th^ February 201 9 Placement ends Friday 8 th^ March 201 9 A two-week vacation period follows placement 1 area 1 Table 5 - placement dates - practice placements 1: Area 2 Practice Placements1: Area 2 Placement starts Monday 2 5 th^ March 2018 Placement ends Friday 2 6 th^ April 201 9 A one-week vacation period follows placements 1 area 2 Table 6 - placement dates - practice placement 3 Practice Placement 3 Placement starts Tuesday 7 th^ May 201 9 Placement ends (see note above) Friday 7 th^ June 201 9 University and programme regulations You should refer to the university document Policies, Regulations and Procedures for Students for institutional level material relating to the university’s core regulations policies and procedures. What follows is specific information about the second year of the programme where there is approved variation from the MMU regulations. Pass marks Both second year units (physiotherapy management 2 and practice placements 1) have more than one element of assessment. Marks from elements of assessment are aggregated to produce the overall unit mark. It is sometimes possible to achieve an aggregate unit mark of ≥40 even though a mark of ≤40 has been achieved for one of the elements. However, in the second year of the physiotherapy:

• Physiotherapy Management 2: cardiorespiratory theme (assignment) students must achieve a mark of ≥ 35
• Physiotherapy Management 2: neurology theme (oral practical examination) must be passed with a mark of ≥ 40
• Physiotherapy Management 2: musculoskeletal theme (oral practical examination) must be passed with a mark of ≥ 40

• Practice placements 1: Area 1 must be passed with a mark ≥ 40
• Practice placements 1: Area 2 must be passed with a mark of ≥ 40
• Practice placements 1: Area 3 must be passed with a mark of ≥ 40 Each placement area mark at level 5 (second year) is a weighted aggregate: (placement booklet mark x 0.75) + (case review mark x 0.25)
• The placement booklet mark must be ≥40 for each of the three placement areas
• The overall placement mark must be ≥40 for each of the three placement areas
• Students can pass a placement area with a case review mark of ≤40 so long as the placement aggregate mark is ≤40.

HOURS REQUIRED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSESSMENT ON PRACTICE

PLACEMENT

In the practice placement units of the programme students who do not complete ≥ clinical hours in an area will not be eligible for assessment and will normally be required to retake the whole placement.

NUMBER OF RESITS STUDENTS ARE ALLOWED (AND WITHIN WHAT

PERIOD OF TIME)

If you achieve a mark of

• ≥35 for Physiotherapy Management 2: cardiorespiratory theme assignment
• ≥ 40 for Physiotherapy Management 2: musculoskeletal theme oral practical examination
• ≥40 for Physiotherapy Management 2: Neurology theme oral practical examination
• ≥40 for the Physiotherapy Management 2 unit overall You will have 2 re-assessment opportunities. First reassessment opportunities are usually automatically offered. Second reassessment opportunities are conditional on your having ‘engaged’ with the first re-assessment. In the Second year of the programme first reassessment opportunities for the themes named above will follow the interim meeting of the Assessmen Board in January. A provisional timetable is published in this year handbook (see page 32).
• Students who are not able to achieve a mark at or above the threshold for pass (40) for MSK theme/neuro theme AND a mark of ≥35 for CR2/an aggregate mark of ≥40the unit overall for physiotherapy management 2 at first assessment will automatically defer the start of practice placements 1.
• Students who are unsuccessful at first reassessment will be unable to proceed to placement as normal and it is likely in such instances that the student would have to defer placements to the academic year 201 9 - 2020. The topic for the first reassessment attempt for the cardiorespiratory theme will be released during week 28 (week commencing 4th^ February 201 9 ) for submission during week 32 (week

commencing 4 th^ March 201 9 ). Students who are successful in first reassessment will then proceed to practice placements 1 area 2 – completing placements 1 area 2, then placements 1 area 3, then undertaking the deferred placements 1 area 1 at some time after Friday 7th June 201 9. Please be aware that should you be unsuccessful in first assessment for any of the three units comprising Physiotherapy Management 2, you will be required to undertake practice placement area 1 during the summer period following Friday 7th^ June, so we would strongly advise not booking holiday in advance for Summer 2019. First reassessment for the MSK/Neuro themes (oral practical examinations) will occur during week 33 (week commencing 1 1 th^ March 201 9 ). Students who are unsuccessful in first reassessment will not have met the requirements to proceed to practice placements 1. Students will be offered second reassessment attempts conditional on full engagement with first reassessment. Second reassessments usually occur during the summer vacation period. For these students, placements cannot begin until the next academic year (see above).

FOR THE PRACTICE PLACEMENT UNITS

There are three placement areas in the Practice placements 1 unit. Each area is separately assessed. Students must complete a minimum of 108 clinical hours on a placement area to be eligible for assessment. If you achieve a mark of

• <40 for any placement area assessment (assessed using the common assessment tool) OR
• <40 for the practice placements 1 unit overall You will have a single reassessment opportunity only. You will only have to resit failed areas. First reassessment opportunities will follow the meeting of the Assessment Boards in June. A provisional timetable is published in this year handbook (see page 32). In summary:
• Students who achieve mark of <40 for any placement area assessment or achieve an aggregate mark for the unit that is <40 are not entitled to a condoned pass.
• Each area assessment must be passed with an aggregate mark ≥40 (which must include a placement booklet mark of ≥40)
• Students who are required to undertake reassessment and do not satisfactory achieve a unit mark ≥ 40 by achieving the conditions stated above after a first reassessment opportunity will not be offered a second reassessment attempt, will not match the requirements for progression to the third year of the programme and will be withdrawn. Subject to satisfactory completion, practice placement hours accrued will contribute toward the 1,000 hours of practice placement required for graduation. Hours completed in a placement area that are not associated with a mark that is ≥40 will not count toward the 1,000 hours required for graduation.

• Students are required to have satisfactorily completed mandatory occupational health assessment and mandatory disclosure and barring screen before the start of this unit.
• Students are required to have satisfactorily completed mandatory (core skills) training before the start of this unit
• There are two parts to the placement booklet. Students who fail in part 2 of an area assessment (health and safety/professional behaviour) will fail the area overall regardless of marks achieved in part one of the area assessment. In such circumstances, the student will be awarded a mark of 0. Clinical hours accrued during a placement area that is failed will not contribute toward the 1,000 hours required for graduation. NUMBER OF UNIT RESITS ALLOWED WITHIN ANY ONE YEAR. The university regulations allow a student to be reassessed in units up to the value of 90 credits during the summer vacation. Any student needing to repeat, practice placement areas would require a further 5-week period of clinical practice for each practice placement area that was failed. Repeat practice placement areas must be completed successfully during the summer vacation to allow progression to the third year in September 201 9. Please note that there is only ONE resit opportunity for each practice placement area.

ASSIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS

Detailed assignment specifications for each unit will normally be published on Moodle early in each unit. These will:-

• State the unit title
• State the unit code (required for coursework submission procedures for some assessments)
• Reiterate the unit learning outcomes
• State the topic release date (where relevant)
• State the examination date/assignment submission date and any relevant late submission deadlines (see Assessment Regulations for Undergraduate Programme of Study paragraph B15)
• State the date for release of marks and feedback
• Reiterate the assessment criteria as articulated in the unit specification
• Contain the detailed marking criteria that will be used by markers (these may be published as a separate document)
• Provide specific, assignment related guidance with links to key resources where necessary
• Provide general guidance including reminders for the students around plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct. Students are required to submit all pieces of written work through Turnitin. Turnitin is plagiarism detection software. The programme philosophy in using this tool is not to detect

instances where plagiarism may have occurred. The intention is that students use the software to identify where there is the possibility that they may have plagiarised to give them opportunity to modify their work where necessary before submission. The rationale in using the software is developmental rather than punitive. Please note that we do not accept submission on paper unless this is specifically stated in the assignment specification. You have only submitted your work when it has been uploaded through the Turnitin link on Moodle and your work cannot be marked until this has occurred.

YEAR 2 ASSESSMENT BOARDS

Normally during academic week 27: commencing Monday 2 8 th^ January 201 9 and in June (provisional date Tuesday 2 7 th^ June 2019). The June meeting of the Assessment Board will consider the assessment results of Physiotherapy Management 2 and Practice placements 1 areas 1 and 2. Assessment Boards are:

• Held in January to consider Physiotherapy Management 2: MSK2 theme, Physiotherapy Management 2: CR2 theme and Physiotherapy Management 2: Neurology theme to ensure that students match the prerequisites for participation in the practice placements 1 unit and to enable reassessment to be undertaken where that is necessary.
• Held in September of each year to consider practice placement 1 (area 3), the results of any deferred placements not yet considered and any re-examination results (provisional date Friday 6th^ September 201 9 ). Students will only be able to re-enrol to the third year of the programme AFTER the September meeting of the Assessment Board. Students are reminded that they are not eligible to participate in the practice placements unit of the second year of the programme until they have achieved passes in Physiotherapy Management 2 (all themes) AND have completed all core/mandatory health and safety training. Any results published before the meeting of the Assessment Boards are subject to confirmation by the Assessment Board and may in exceptional circumstances, change.

PUBLICATION OF EXAMINATION RESULTS ACADEMIC YEAR 201 8 -

Normally results will be made available electronically through the ‘My Results’ system to students within five working days of the meeting of the meeting of the Assessment Board.

LATE SUBMISSION of coursework

If you submit coursework later than the deadline published in this handbook or the assignment specification it will be subject to penalty. Students are advised to consult the

Assessment Regulations for Undergraduate Programme of Study (B15) relating to late submission of coursework.

GENERAL REGULATIONS

Please refer to your programme handbook and the Undergraduate Assessment Regulations.

PROGRAMME SPECIFIC ASSESSMENT REGULATIONS

CASE BASED CLINICAL REASONING ORAL PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS/PRACTICE

PLACEMENT ELEMENTS

Due to professional body requirements condoned passes for marks in the band 3 0 - 39 for practical elements of the programme (oral practical examinations and practice placement elements) are not allowed and all these elements must be passed with a mark ≥40. WRITTEN ASSESSMENTS/EXAMINATIONS Students are required to achieve a mark of 35 or above in the written assessment/examination for the cardiorespiratory theme.

ASSESSMENT OF PRACTICE PLACEMENTS AREAS 1, 2 AND 3 (LEVEL

5 (I) 60 CREDITS)

For learning outcomes, grading criteria and guidance for grading see the Practice Education Handbook, which will be made available to you during December 201 8. There are two parts to the assessment for each practice area. Part one of the assessment is concerned with communication, self-management, assessment, patient treatment, and reflective practice. There are 11 separate sections in Part one of the online assessment document. Sections 1-10 together contribute 75% of the mark for the placement, section 11 (case review) contributes 25% of the mark for the placement. Part 2 of the online assessment document relates to health and safety and professional behaviour. This section is pass/fail. If a student does not achieve passes in both health and safety and professional behaviour they will fail the placement overall regardless of any mark awarded for part 1. Students who fail part 2 of the document will be awarded a mark of 0 for that placement. Clinical hours accrued during a placement that is failed cannot count toward the 1,000 hours total required for graduation. Please note that participation in the practice placements 1 unit is conditional on passing all elements of the Physiotherapy management 2 unit. Students who are unsuccessful at the first assessment should delay the start of practice placements 1. Students who delay the start of practice placements 1 may have to undertake additional clinical hours during the summer vacation in order to match the requirements for progression into the third year of the programme.

PRACTICE PLACEMENT – CASE REVIEW

Students are required to submit a case review following each practice education placement at level 5 (second year). Further information that relates to the nature of the case review for the practice placement units will be provided in assignment specifications which will be made available on Moodle.

Topics chosen for placements 1 area 1, placements 1 area 2 and placements 1 area 3 will be marked using level 5 marking criteria. Students will eligible to progress to the third year of the programme only when they have successfully achieved passes for 120 credits at level 5. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Most of the time, information that you will need about the programme can be found in the programme handbook or in this year handbook.

SECOND YEAR UNITS

PHYSIOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT 2: UNIT CODE: 2D5Z LEVEL 5 (I), 60 CREDITS This unit has three distinct themes and builds on learning at level 4. The musculoskeletal theme considers the lumbar spine and lower limb conditions. Skills developed during earlier units will be developed further and students will learn how to adapt these skills and apply them to the lower quadrant. There is a strong focus on enhancing clinical reasoning which will include exploration of biopsychosocial factors that can impact on physiotherapy management and treatment outcomes. The cardiorespiratory theme, which includes peripheral vascular disease, has a strong emphasis on the evidence base that supports physiotherapy management. Students consider issues that relate to care that has its focus on maintenance, support, palliation and the physiotherapy contribution to the provision of high quality care at the end of life. The neurology theme considers more complex and less predictable impairment in the neurological system for example, multiple sclerosis. In addition it will facilitate consideration of the provision of physiotherapy treatment to the management of traumatic brain injury and cerebral palsy and in so doing requires the students to consider how treatment should be adapted to match the needs of patients across the age spectrum.

The cardiorespiratory theme builds on learning at level 4 and uses case studies featuring more complex and less predictable cardiorespiratory conditions. Through these cases you will develop key transferable skills that will enable you to learn about other complex cardiorespiratory conditions including peripheral vascular disease. A greater complexity in the patient scenarios requires a greater sophistication in clinical reasoning. More advanced physiology of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems is applied as appropriate to each case and appropriate practical work adds further skills used in the management of such conditions in the life-threatening situation. This unit offers the opportunity for you to consider rehabilitation in the context of supportive and palliative interventions and will assist you to consider appropriate goal setting for the patient for whom restorative interventions may have become redundant. Pulmonary rehabilitation and the evidence base that underpins this intervention are considered. You will consider the impact of mental health on patients with chronic diseases and identify how a diagnosis of depression or anxiety might impact on the provision of health care. The impact of chronic illness on family members/carers is also considered. You will use your problem solving skills to select and plan the patients’ assessment and treatment, learning to modify these to the worsening scenario. The role of the physiotherapist and other health professionals in meeting the need of patients with end-stage disease is a focus in this unit.

NEUROLOGY THEME The neurology theme builds on learning achieved at level 4 and considers case studies with more complex and less predictable neurological conditions and greater complexity of patient scenarios intended to promote deeper clinical reasoning. You will consider the relevant anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral nervous system in relation to the aetiology and pathophysiology for each condition. You will use clinical reasoning and problem solving skills to select, plan, justify and evaluate the assessment and treatment of patients in a wide variety of clinical settings. You will apply knowledge of abnormal tone on posture and movement to new neurological conditions with different pathological/structural implications. You will develop a broader appreciation of patient problems due to impairments in balance and postural control. You will also explore the associated psychosocial issues and roles of the multidisciplinary team in the reintegration of patients into society. Neurological impairments in the paediatric population including the use of specialist assistive technology are included in the unit. Opportunities to consider less common acquired neurological impairments are considered alongside an exploration of the concept of palliative care in the context of neurological disease. You will learn effective moving and handling techniques which includes the use of hoists and slide sheets. Expert clinicians will facilitate skill development in the application of the principles and concepts of the Bobath and Motor Relearning Approach in the treatment of patients with neurological conditions. Treatments include facilitation techniques for the upper limb, trunk and lower limb, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, balance training and the management of neurological gait. In all instances you will consider indications, contraindications, potential adverse outcomes and the evidence base that underpins neurological physiotherapy interventions.

MUSCULOSKELETAL THEME

The musculoskeletal theme builds on learning at level 4; including clinical sciences, human movement and MSK1, related to the physiotherapy assessment and management of the patient with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Skills developed during level 4 units will be developed further and you will learn how to adapt these skills and apply them to the lower quadrant. The main principles are the integration and application of this knowledge to selected pathologies of the lower quadrant which will enable you to explain your clinical decisions. Functional anatomy, biomechanics, surface marking, differential diagnosis and treatment of pathologies of the lower quadrant is applied to lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, hip, knee, foot and ankle. A case-based, problem-solving approach to learning is used. In addition you will gain an understanding of the pathology of osteoarthritis and other specific common pathologies affecting the lower quadrant. You will gain an understanding of the common surgical, medical, and physiotherapeutic management in relation to these pathologies. This will include knowledge of the role and contribution of other health professionals. There is a strong focus on enhancing clinical reasoning, which will include exploration of biopsychosocial factors that can impact on physiotherapy management and treatment outcomes.

You will understand the different components of an assessment in each region of the lower quadrant and be able to clinically reason their inclusion/exclusion related to a variety of cases. You will be able to document and clinically reason a problem list, initial treatment plan, and treatment progression in relation to a specific case related to a particular region of the lower quadrant. You will understand and be able to apply and clinically reason various approaches in the management and treatment of common pathologies affecting the lower quadrant. This includes the Maitland concept, the McKenzie concept, the psychosocial approach, ergonomics, postural advice and core stability. You will extend the range of electrotherapy modalities that you are able to apply to include interferential, TENS, laser (theory only) and build on earlier knowledge of other modalities and apply this knowledge and skills to the lower quadrant. You will build on your knowledge and skills in relation to mobilising and strengthening techniques and be able to apply these to the lower quadrant. You will be able to discuss the normal gait cycle and be able to identify deviations from this. You will be able to justify and prescribe provision of walking aids and use these for gait re-education.

PRACTICE PLACEMENTS 1 (LEVEL 5 (I) 60 CREDITS) 2D5Z0002

(LEVEL 5 (I): 60 CREDITS)

Three, 200 hour (approximate) work-based placements. The student will be able to achieve the learning outcomes by taking responsibility for most aspects of the assessment/treatment and evaluation of treatment for a caseload of patients with guidance/support from a practice placement educator. The placements will take place in three distinct practice areas which may be in the primary, secondary or tertiary state healthcare; in education; in the voluntary/private sector or in charitable organisations. Placements are arranged to ensure that students experience the provision of health care in acute, community and rehabilitation settings. Placement areas are skills based, which will facilitate the development of transferable skills ensuring that the student is able to demonstrate achievement of competence in the three core areas of physiotherapy (musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiorespiratory), in the context of contemporary health care delivery by the end of the programme. Competence is not only the ability to

deliver a skill safely and effectively, but is also related to the students’ ability to provide sound justification for their actions based on a sound knowledge base and contemporary evidence. The student will be provided with opportunities to apply and relate theory to practice. They will be facilitated to evaluate the effectiveness/appropriateness of different approaches to manage a caseload of patient/clients with uncomplicated/ predictable problems. Opportunities will be provided for students to experience multi and interdisciplinary learning and working. Transition through the unit will be characterised by increasing autonomy in clinical decision-making and an enhanced ability to clearly articulate clinical reasoning and justify their treatment choices by accessing, appraising and applying the best available evidence Please note that participation in the practice placements 1 unit is conditional on passing all units at level 4, successfully completing practice placement 0 and the achievement of an acceptable mark for each element of assessment in Physiotherapy management 2. Students who do not achieve a mark of ≥35 for the Physiotherapy management 2 cardiorespiratory theme assignment and passes (≥40) for Physiotherapy management 2: MSK theme and Physiotherapy management 2: Neurology theme oral practical examinations will automatically defer the start of the practice placements 1 unit. Students who delay the start of practice placements will have to undertake additional clinical hours during the summer vacation in order to match the requirements for progression into the third year of the programme.
