This topic will introduce students to Leadership and Supervision and Collaborative Practice in Health Care Delivery including Service Planning and Project Management. The common focus for learning activities will be the critical review and debate of selected issues in collaborative practice which impact upon delivering integrated care for clients and their families/carers in relation to public health priorities and health promotion. This topic will give the students the opportunity to undertake in-depth study and complete a project following on from the project proposal prepared in semester 1. This module will enhance the student's knowledge of our health promotion role, and how activity and exercise can both maintain/improve health but also prevent ill health particularly in chronic disease management.
