Course description

This course will provide students with a comprehensive knowledge and skill base for advanced practice in health and ageing. The aim is to develop students' critical reasoning, assessment and intervention skills with individuals, families and groups and caregivers in diverse health contexts. The course uses weekly interactive scenario-based learning case studies, taught with social work practitioners, to examine and apply concepts of inclusive practice and knowledge-based and ethical decision-making in assessment and intervention. The course will facilitate the development of skills in professional writing; team work; individual and systems advocacy skills; understanding and application of outcome-focused practice; and use of evidence for best practice.
