Course+specifics

**Course Title:**Succeeding in Practice **Course Co-ordinators:**Rob Thomas, Kate Cheeseman, Charles Bruford, Andrew Allen || **Course Structure:** The course course will be structured over an academic year made up of 3 twelve week terms starting in september. Changed! The summative assessment will be due in July //This depends on your other modules. Looking at what your course is actually doing and the amount, I think 1 year with 2/3 assessments is more suitable.// I agree, so lets change it.... The course will be structured over an academic year made up of 3 X 12 week term periods starting from September with the presentation assessment in July. ...is that ok? Sounds good, I agree it was an oversight I always saw this as a year long course. Are we in agreement this is a level 5? **Rationale for the course:** Newly graduated osteopaths and health care professionals often lack basic business skills to enable them to get started in practice and avoid legal and financial pitfalls. There is an acknowledgement of the need to develop and support students in order to improve their chances for employment post higher education. We will probably have to argue this point. //(How about something along the line of all post-graduation all students will be requiring skills that they do not study. This along with student feedback over the last 3 years has indicated the need for study in this area. Furthermore there is a growing emphasis in HE on emplyability and the recent Greenwich Graduate Attributes. )// Osteopathy is a vocational course, it trains you to be an osteopath, what it doesn't provide is exactly what we are trying to cover.  Alongside this is a requirement for students to develop business skills to set up their own practice. As a result of this course students across a number of disciplines will acquire new skills, knowledge and expertise in business requirements in order to develop to self- employment post graduation. A degree from the University of Greenwich combined with specific skills for student’s to access and present themselves professionally to business professionals will provide students with a competitive edge, leading to greater opportunities and more positive personal outcomes. It will enable ESO students to carry the standards of osteopathy forwards. **Target Audience:** The target group for this course are undergraduate and graduate complementary health care professionals, such as Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Podiatrists, Acupuncturists and reflexologists. These people will be interested in acquiring business skills to help set up in business **Aims:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">A course designed to aid the development from student to health care professional. Focusing on developing the skills required when opening your own business, and honouring legal and professional requirements. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Learning Outcomes:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">By the end ofthe course the student will have undergone transformational development in attitude from academic to professional//.// They will be able to: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">//Too many - needs to be about 4 or 5! Vast instructions all in guidance notes about LOs Wiki wont let me ungrey them. I adapted these from Andres last ones following their instrutions. They still need to be cut down// <span style="color: #6d6d6d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">1. Through completing the assignment you will have designed and have the skills to be able to set up an alternative health care clinic. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">And operate in a legal and professional manner. And have an understanding of your discipline in professional practice, its principles, practice and boundaries. <span style="color: #6d6d6d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. After working through course material and listening to the advice of business people, you will be abe to prepare accurate business plans and forecasts and be confident about financially running an alternative health care practice. Students<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> will be able to think independently and analytically within the new area of self-employment. <span style="color: #6d6d6d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">3. After completing the course material and listening to lectures, you will be able to apply the legal requirements for working in health care. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Delete this one, I've added to the 1st LO. <span style="color: #6d6d6d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">4. After participating in multiple situation workshops, you will have a set of skills to apply to communicate well with staff and patients without prejudice and within the law <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">and communicate clearly and effectively taking into account the different audiences. <span style="color: #6d6d6d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">5. Through attending lectures and participating in course workshops you will be fluent with and be able to apply the principles of self-protection and self development(lumpy!!) <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Let's delete this one, I don't understand it anyway! <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yep loose it. <span style="color: #6d6d6d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">6. By completing the on-line course work, you will have a knowledge of your local work area, have designed your own website and will be able to market and publicise your business to your target clients <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">as well as making use of familiar and emerging information and communication technologies. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">7. Through practice workshops and lab sessions, you will be able to write a comprehensive CV and be able to use interview skills to best sell yourself <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">If we just keep it to a self-employment scenario we can delete this LO, that'll allow us to offer the course as optional module, and therefore allow outside recruitment, do you think? ** By recruiting other disciplines into the course we will expose the students to other professionals from diverse backgrounds, and so develop another of the GGAs ** <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> I'm not sure i think this could be good. In my experience osteopaths aren't great at being interviewed. Also being realistic many will probably start with associate positions and will therefore have to sell themselves. I know osteopaths are not very good at interview, but what is our course supposed to be, interview technique or professional business skills for the private health sector, we can't do both! If it's preparing for work then we can drop all the marketing, business planning, etc and just give them interview practice. That in the real world osteopaths are poor at interview is of no concern, we are trying to put together a course for a pretend validation. What they are concerned with is the 'edu-speak' nonsense, have we considered credits, mode of delivery, level of credits, aims, learning outcomes, budgeting, resources, recruitment, GGAs, etc etc etc, not whether it's a course that actually is of any use! <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">I thought it was meant to be a course to help people studying alternative health care survive in the real world in private practice, well surely lots of people first go into other practices and then set up alone or with a group, so making these decisions is probably the most important of all decisions? <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">If this is the case they are self-employed associates working within an established practice, so they still need to be aware of all the self-employed business stuff, there are virtually no PAYE osteopaths, so interview skills are not that important in my opinion, but that's not to say I don't agree with Kates point below, it's just Rob seems to take things so literally I was trying to argue the point from a literal view! And was suggesting a way to reduce the number of learning outcomes. A couple of sessions on that sort of stuff would fit in fine with the people relations strand. The very fact that two of you have said osteopaths are no good at it and the "GGA's" are about attributes to help people get work, to me says all the more reason for doing it!! If we are doing the legal business side/ marketting selling / dealing with people, surely it just fits into the dealing with people part. You don't even have to have actual interview skills, but most gps now go through working with actors in set up workshops as they have found it helps them understand different situations. I had an osteopath (unlike the lovely James Sumerfield) who refused to listen to all the ways he has treated me over the years knowing how the problems in my back go, and just talked at me. She treated the symptoms and after two sessions I was no better and I gave up! Obviously she was not trained nearly as well as you lot, but a bit of people knowledge would have gone a long way... Anyway, it would be one session in a strand in the oral communications strand. Plus I was thinking vivas more along the line of give them some acting situations ie staff problem, patient problem and see how they deal with it. Anyway, its not real, so anything away from boring essays is good. So if you have one set of accounts and business plans, one website with flyers and market info and one live event with actors, you have written/numeric written/visual (and it could have a little video if they wanted) and it then you have one actually doing something in action that probably would show those that were good with patients in good light. i agree, as long as we don't think this is a LO too many, which was the only concern i had in the first place, bearing in mind that we should only have 4 or 5 according to the vast amount of instructions in ALL the guidance notes! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Access/Entry requirement:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Skills development:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Communication Skills: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Accountancy Skills: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Legal Skills: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Creative Skills: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Teaching and Learning Approaches:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">The module will contain various approaches to facilitate the development of a number of skills in the student. It also accommodates the various learning styles favoured by students. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">//**Learning Activities: Suggest this is 30 or whatever fits in with your modules but 20 is one full term on MA rather than a years module on undergrad course. So 3 terms of 10 credits each more likely. We could also bung in a work placement in final term.**// <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Again I agree, so let's change it.... We will need to argue how this time commitment fits in with other modules/courses taught in the final year. I agree with red and black justification is what this task is all about! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">This is a 20 credit course, it requires 200 hours of learning in order to be completed. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">This is a 30 credit course, it requires 300 hours of learning in order to be completed. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">10 Learning Hours =1 credit <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">300 learning Hours =30credits || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Methods** || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Learning Hours** || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Frequency** || I've changed the hours calculation to equal 300, I don't know it this is a sensible portioning of the learning time, so please feel free to alter it accordingly! I've added a business placement, which seems like a good idea. We could tie up with other local businesses with in the health care industry or via the local chamber of commerce in any kind of small business...it could also be a formative assessment, to receive +ve feedback from your placement.... and write a reflection? Is that formative summative or a task? I'm not keen on business placement can't see who we could find to do it with. The school clinic ticks the employability box lets find 20 hours elsewhere.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Assessment Strategy:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Course will be based around a series of formative assessments, which will prepare the students to tackle the two summative assessments. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">All the assessments are compulsory. They provide a framework for both reflection and feedback which are essential for student progression. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Both sets of assessment develop the skills necessary to achieve the learning outcomes and to measure whether they have been achieved. The assignments contain both individual and group work elements, this enhances initiative and cooperation.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**Table 2. Assessments This is too much for one term running alongside others. So split this into 3 terms and make one summative for each term and one formative. Think S1 and 2 are too similar so make web page one and business plan other, plus you could make a viva alongside role play as they are very into different ways of assessing** <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">I agree <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">**. Also we have the simm venture you mentioned before though as my 10 year old plays sims may not suit older.** <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Cue seeking Paul Dennison loves Sim venture. Personally I couldn't imagine anything more dull! <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">//YOu should hear the film students on the matter - they do a joint course with another department that makes them do simmventure and they HATE it! Anyway, if he is marking.... sounds like a good idea... just scratch this comment from the log book Captain Kirk!// <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">** Why not have S1 as an accounts task, creating a spreadsheet of forecasted income, showing a slight growth and possible expenditure for a 12 month period. S2 could be the web design and flyer showing brand promotion as designed by the student. . I like the idea of a viva and perhaps they could be assessed formatively first on their ability to present a three year business plan in a Dragons den type manner with a tutor facilitating a question and answer session with peers and their S3 could be the amended written business plan with reflections from the presentation ( abit like we are doing with this FT2) they could even work in small groups) .** <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Does F2 fit this now?
