Description	This module will be delivered in Year 4, in semester 1 only. Leadership This module in intended to introduce students to the key concepts of leadership in pharmacy and the wider healthcare system, including clinical and managerial roles. Students will be introduced to different leadership approaches and techniques, and through reflection and discussion, have a greater awareness of how leadership can influence team performance and the importance of both self and situation awareness. This will be framed in the context of service delivery to champion person-centred care. Elective This component of the module allows students to explore, in detail, the training, the role and the clinical / multi-professional context of a field of pharmacy or health profession. The main learning approaches are through observation and discussion. Students will select a clinical or professional speciality of interest, develop personal learning outcomes (agreed with their tutor) that they would like to achieve upon completion of the elective placement days, and arrange the placement days around their own availability. Students are encouraged to embrace active involvement, with hands on learning of practical skills / patient examination / supervised real-time decision making, and leadership and mentorship skills. Students will also share their experience by presenting a short case presentation session to the Year 3 pharmacy students, assessed by a member of academic staff. Students will also provide a reflective account of their experiences, which will be related back to their personal learning outcomes.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Apply prior learning from professional placement experiences to the planning and organisation of elective learning experience. Demonstrate and apply the skills of independent learning, utilising resources and relevant information and seek expert advice as necessary. Reflect on and critique a leadership model and factors that can influence the performance of the team. Develop written evidence of leadership, planning, organisation, and evaluation skills. Demonstrate development as a reflective practitioner through the critical review of experience and learning. Set personal learning outcomes and reflect on how well they guided elective experiential learning plans and whether they have been achieved. Disseminate knowledge form elective learning experiences, including any professional decision-making.
