Choosing your scenario:
You are to select a scenario from your practice within the last 12 months, ideally a scenario that you have observed, so you
can look at what happened, comment on professional issues observed and then analyse the professional issues. In order
to help you select a scenario that will meet the module learning outcomes you should ensure that:
• The scenario provides the potential to identify issues relating to leadership & management
• The scenario provides the potential to discuss MDT/Team work
• The scenario must not be of a purely ethical nature
• Avoid a scenario that relates to onetoone
care
• Ideally you will consider the bigger picture and not how you were affected.
• Your scenario can be either a positive or a negative experience.
• This is a nonjudgemental
piece of work, you should purely analyse what you observed and should not apportion blame.
Your work should reflect an understanding of the module learning outcomes:
1. Explore, analyse and evaluate the nature, organisation and dynamics of professional practice within health and social
care organisations.
2. Demonstrate a critical awareness of the challenges facing health and social care services in meeting the changing
demands of the public.
3. Evaluate leadership & management functions in the delivery of quality healthcare.
4. Analyse the implications of working within multidisciplinary teams whilst maintaining equitable and antidiscriminatory
practice.
5. Evaluate their personal development of a critical stance in examining the nature of professional practice within the
context of contemporary health and social care.
6. Evaluate the skills and qualities needed for autonomous practice.
