Four thousand word reflective case study

The student must complete a four thousand word assignment, which illustrates their knowledge and understanding of the communication process including its application to their clinical practice. The assignment will include exploration and discussion of theoretical concepts, practice models and approaches as well as relevant ethical considerations including the awareness of self. Reference to and relevance for the student's clinical context and client groups will be expected. The work must be supported throughout by appropriate references and/or relevant sources of evidence. The discussion must be based upon sound evidence relevant to personal practice and experience, as well as a range of literature sources including appropriate research.

The student will need to discuss their ability to adapt models, skills and strategies to best fit with their client's needs, the context and their own role as a practitioner. In addition, the student will need to discuss their awareness of personal, professional and organisational barriers and/or hindrances to the development of the person centred approach in their practice. Also the student will need to support their discussion with a reflective model and/or approach that identifies and explores strategies for sustaining new developments and change in personal practice. The assignment must be submitted by 12MD local time on the last day of the module. It will be marked by academic staff using level 6 criteria for reflective assignments.
