to live their best life? Using specialist skills, knowledge and behaviours Occupational Therapists support people of all ages to do the things they want to do whether that be at home, at school, at work or anywhere else!<\/p>\n<p>The BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy* will prepare you to practice confidently, competently and safely, making a difference to peoples lives across a variety of settings. Equipping you with the skills and knowledge required to rise to the diverse challenges faced by Occupational Therapists you will be encouraged to show initiative, demonstrate critical thinking and work flexibly.<\/p>\n<p>Studying alongside other student health professionals within the School of Nursing and Allied Health, you will develop vital communication and interprofessional skills to enhance your practice and enrich person centred care.<\/p>\n<p>The programme will develop your theoretical knowledge and practical skills within both the university, via state of the art simulation facilities and through a variety of practice environments.<\/p>\n<p>On successful completion of the course, you are eligible to apply for registration as an Occupational Therapist with the Health and Care Professions Council and apply for membership of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists.<\/p>\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-caret\">\n<summary style=\"color: #fff;background-color: #65696a\"><span>What does this course cover?<\/span><svg class=\"icon icon-caret\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\"><path d=\"M310.6 246.6l-127.1 128C176.4 380.9 168.2 384 160 384s-16.38-3.125-22.63-9.375l-127.1-128C.2244 237.5-2.516 223.7 2.438 211.8S19.07 192 32 192h255.1c12.94 0 24.62 7.781 29.58 19.75S319.8 237.5 310.6 246.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/summary>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat does this course cover<\/p>\n<p>To support you to develop the skills, knowledge, behaviours and values required to be eligible for registration as an Occupational Therapist, you will study a wide variety of content both academically and practically. This will include:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; An Introduction to Professional Healthcare Practice<br \/>\n&#8211; Person Centred Care through the Lifespan<br \/>\n&#8211; Human Functioning in Health and Disease<br \/>\n&#8211; Population Health<br \/>\n&#8211; Empowering Self and Others<br \/>\n&#8211; Challenges in Rehabilitation<br \/>\n&#8211; Collaborative Care<br \/>\n&#8211; Leading Change<br \/>\n&#8211; Using Evidence to Transform Practice<br \/>\n&#8211; Transitioning to Professional Life<\/p>\n<p>Practice placements are introduced in year 1 and continue throughout the programme. These placements provide a range of experiences in various settings and sectors facilitating a strong understanding of the value and contribution of Occupational Therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Consent to participate in practical sessions<\/p>\n<p>The development of practical and clinical skills is integral to your development as an Occupational Therapist. Participation in interactive practical sessions is therefore essential to your education. During these teaching sessions, you may be asked to act as a \u2018model\u2019 for others. Acting as a model may, by necessity, involve the removal of clothing that enables adequate observation and\/or examination of movements or body parts. Therefore, before commencing practical classes, all students are given detailed information regarding this issue and are required to sign the relevant section of a consent form. The issue of consent will be explained in more detail during the induction week and revisited throughout the programme.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel that there is an issue which may have an impact on your ability or willingness to act as a model, please contact the programme leader to discuss this. We will make every effort to put mechanisms in place to address your concerns. We want everyone to feel valued and included whilst ensuring that everyone gains the practical and clinical skills needed to successfully complete the programme of study.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-caret\">\n<summary style=\"color: #fff;background-color: #65696a\"><span>How will I be assessed?<\/span><svg class=\"icon icon-caret\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\"><path d=\"M310.6 246.6l-127.1 128C176.4 380.9 168.2 384 160 384s-16.38-3.125-22.63-9.375l-127.1-128C.2244 237.5-2.516 223.7 2.438 211.8S19.07 192 32 192h255.1c12.94 0 24.62 7.781 29.58 19.75S319.8 237.5 310.6 246.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/summary>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow will I be assessed<\/p>\n<p>You will be assessed throughout the duration of the programme using a range of methods which will vary depending upon the module.

The Admissions team will use the course entry requirements, as well as your personal statement, reference and any work experience information, to shortlist and invite successful candidates for interview. Candidates will be assessed at interview on their motivation and understanding of the role of an Occupational Therapist and familiarity with NHS Constitution and Values as well as the requirements of an HCPC registered professional.<\/p>\n<p>Work Experience. Applicants are strongly encouraged to undertake voluntary work or gain work experience shadowing an Occupational Therapist in order to have a clear understanding of what the profession entails. This will help you to decide whether Occupational Therapy is the career for you.  It will also enable you to demonstrate your commitment to and passion for the profession in your application and at interview.<br \/>\nIf you are finding it difficult to organise work experience you could explore the profession through speaking with qualified Occupational Therapists, reading industry publications or undertaking some research online. Useful websites include The Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) and NHS Health Careers.<\/p>\n<p>Health checks. As part of the health clearance checks you will be required to provide information about your immunity and vaccination status. Candidates must prove they have been immunised against Rubella, Measles, Tuberculosis and Hepatitis B. We strongly recommend that all successful applicants (unless exempt on medical grounds) receive a full course of Covid-19 and Influenza vaccinations prior to commencing the course.<\/p>\n<p>Occupational Health Clearance.

The aim of this module is to develop your knowledge and skillset to enable you to work collaboratively across professions, sectors and specialities. This will assist you to optimise the outcome for service users whilst promoting and protecting the service users interests at all times. The learning and teaching strategy is built on interactive group education between students working with group facilitators including academic, health and social care partners and experts by experience. The module is largely student led and uses problem and simulation based learning, observational visits and seminar-based groupwork. The module will use problem-based case scenarios with the aim of developing your knowledge of differing professional roles in coordinating care including scope of practice, as well as an understanding of the role and resources to support care in primary, acute and social care-based services within an integrated health economy. You will work with peers to embed the need to build and sustain professional relationships as an autonomous practitioner and collaboratively as a member of a team. You will develop a collaborative management plan and rationale which will be presented as part of the learning of the module. Case scenarios will be developed in partnership with experts by experience and draw upon a range of common enduring physical and mental health conditions. You will examine evidence of the importance of effective planning and communication of care, including safeguarding in practice, making and received appropriate referrals within and across care sectors and how this contributes positively to the safety, quality and economics of health care. You will be supported to understand how to evaluate your management plan using recognised and approved outcome measures in conjunction with services users and revise plans as required. As you progress through the module, you will develop inter-professional capabilities of communication, role clarification, decision-making and teamworking enabling you to practice in a non-discriminatory manner.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-2\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAdvanced and Enhancing Occupational therapy Practice\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">40 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The aim of this module is to explore advanced and enhancing areas of occupational therapy practice, building on the foundations from year one.<\/p>\n<p>You will continue to analyse the evidence base to inform occupational therapy interventions and examine how occupational science and occupational therapy models can be applied in more complex areas of practice to formulate your professional reasoning to support the health and wellbeing of individuals and community groups.

Depending on the setting of your placement experience, start and finish times will vary and may include working between the hours of 8am and 8pm Monday to Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>During all practice placements you will be supported by qualified and experienced HCPC registered practice educators and a link tutor from the university, who will work together to maximise your placement experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-newman-course-section alignfull course-section\" id=\"course-section-bd8e1a85-e130-4036-84da-2c9b38f44067\" data-name=\"Studying in Birmingham\" data-count=\"7\" data-conditional-meta=\"{&quot;conditions&quot;:[{&quot;field&quot;:&quot;studyingAndLivingInBirmingham&quot;,&quot;operator&quot;:&quot;isset&quot;,&quot;valueType&quot;:&quot;static&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;compareField&quot;:&quot;&quot;}],&quot;relationship&quot;:&quot;AND&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull\" style=\"padding-top:80px;padding-bottom:80px;min-height:354px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-896 size-large\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/newman.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-content\/themes\/birmingham-newman-parent\/assets\/dist\/img\/birmingham-brindley-place.webp\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-blue-background-color has-background-dim-80 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"happypress-custom-fields happypress-custom-fields-studyingAndLivingInBirmingham\"><p>Studying and living in Birmingham<\/p>\n<p>At Birmingham Newman University, you\u2019ll enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, green campus that creates the ideal setting for focused study and personal reflection, yet remains just eight miles from the vibrant city centre.<\/p>\n<p>As the UK\u2019s second-largest city, Birmingham is also one of the youngest and most diverse in Europe, offering a dynamic blend of culture, innovation and opportunity.
