Health and Social Care staff are required to respond flexibly to a range of service demands and ethical issues by synthesising multiple sources of different types of information (such as legislation, policy, theory, research, organisational feedback, patient feedback, and reflection) to guide their work. This module provides students with the opportunity to critically evaluate strategies and approaches that can be used to make sense of complex and conflicting information relevant to contemporary issues within health and social care delivery on a global level. Students will apply theoretical learning to their individual workplaces.

Module learning will draw on comparative analysis of policy and organisational contexts in the UK and internationally. The module will facilitate exploration of the development of knowledge and learning that impacts of development of best practice within health and social care. Students will explore a range of relevant and contemporary concepts that surround working within health and social care organisations, such as service improvement, learning, supervision, leadership, team working, legal, political and public expectations of health and social care provision.

Topics may include:

• Key national and international policy contexts e.g. clinical and cost effectiveness; quality and safety in health and social care; patient and public involvement; health and social care integration; technology integration.
• The nature of working within changing, interdisciplinary service contexts.
• Conceptualisations of knowledge and knowledge generation as applied to health and social care.
• Exploration of the credibility and impact of learning and the application of knowledge in health and social care within individual and organisational contexts..
• Reflective practice and workplace staff supervision and support.
• The impact of current and emerging ethical debates in health and social care (e.g. end of life care, mental capacity).
