Task requirements
2500 reflective essay on working with another professional/practitioner
The assessment strategy is designed to test student achievement and support learning and comprises a 2500 word reflective essay which includes a case study of inter-professional practice from placement. The student is required to initiate joint work or a case discussion with another registered professional and demonstrate knowledge of that profession and critically reflect on inter-professional practice and their areas for development. The assignment criteria include the legal and policy underpinning for inter-professional practice.
Formative feedback is given from the module tutor which is designed to support students in their planning and development and enhance their opportunity for success in the summative assignment.
The essay should reflect on IPP skills demonstrated (or not) by the student and the other practitioner, and consider potential barriers. The essay will be situated around a piece of work or discussion involving a service user or service users, but the focus must be on the relationship with the other practitioner.
