There is a scheme of continuous assessment in both the theoretical and practical components of the course. Modules are generally assessed individually, often by assignments. Student's competence is assessed in practice by a registered practitioner designated as their Specialist Practice Teacher with whom they will have worked in close collaboration. The programme also allows students to assess the range of employment opportunities open to them and experience fields of practice they may wish to work in following their graduation. Resources Our programmes are taught by highly motivated staff who are actively engaged in research activity or directly undertaking clinical practice within community health settings.
All students have a personal tutor for support and guidance.
