Delivered by Great Ormond Street Hospital Learning Academy, this 15-credit module aims to enhance the practitioner’s knowledge and understanding of child psychological development theory and the use of evidence-based practice within paediatric mental health care. This module is in-line with NHS England’s aims of enhancing both clinical and non-clinical staffs’ mental health skills within a paediatric setting, equipping them with the necessary attributes to challenge their practice and evaluate their care aligned with evidence-based research.
This module can be taken as part of a Masters, Postgraduate Diploma, Postgraduate Certificate or Graduate Certificate in Paediatrics and Child Healthcare Practice. You can find more information on our MSc Paediatrics & Child Healthcare Practice page.
Active learning will allow students to learn via collaboration, cooperation, and peer-based learning. Activities may include interactive lectures, clinical skills demonstration and supervised practice, small group activities, case-based discussions, workshops, practice simulations and tutorials.
Synchronous and asynchronous learning and teaching activities are delivered via a combination of study days and digital strategies at local sites or online using the Virtual Learning Environment.
Clinical skills development and simulation are delivered in fully equipped, state of the art skills labs using a range of low and high-fidelity learning modalities.
Formative assessment will take the form of pre-course work, a reflective logbook and engagement in classroom activities.
For the summative assessment, learners will be expected to participate in Reflective classroom discussions and deliver an oral presentation.
