The assessment strategy for the course combines formative and summative elements i.e. assessment for learning and assessment of learning. It is designed to foster strong links between learning on the course and the lived realities of practitioners working in a range of clinical contexts.
The choice of assessments is determined on the basis of their fitness for purpose i.e. to evidence achievement of unit/course learning outcomes at masters level (Level 7). The assessment allow learners the flexibility to select relevant cases as the basis for their writing with an opportunity to submit draft plans to receive formative feedback.
