Brunel offer a range of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules for allied health practitioners delivered by experienced professionals and academics.
These modules are designed for the allied health professional, primarily working as a specialist physiotherapist or occupational therapist, who has at least one year of post-qualification work experience. They will prepare you for a leadership role in developing and improving the care and experience of service users, along with improving service provision across a range of health and care settings. They are designed to provide you with an opportunity to develop your clinical reasoning in the chosen specialist area, as well as apply current guidelines for practice. You will also have an opportunity to consider patient care approaches which are multidisciplinary.
Teaching takes places across 2 terms, in line with the University calendar. The timetable of scheduled sessions for each module utilises designated days of the week for either 4 x full days, or 4-6 x half days during working hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm), dependent on the module.
As an associate student, you may take one 15-credit module per term.
