Week 31 w/c 21/02/2022

General

Course planning 2022/23 - We are currently planning the course calendar and timetables for next year. Please note that where possible we are requesting for teaching to be face to face on campus and NOT online. There may be some instances where teaching is online for example some Integrated care curriculum modules may have sessions online or if the content lends itself to this method but on the whole you should be prepared to be in University. Please bear this in mind for your own planning and organisation for next year. If you have queries about this please contact your AA or your Year Lead.

Course changes - in relation to the above course planning for next year we will be putting on some sessions to discuss and inform you of changes that are being made to the course from September 2022. Please look out for these and attend.

Covid absences - There have been changes to the Government guidance on self-isolating. Please continue to follow the SHU guidelines in relation to this which currently have not changed. If you are on placement you will need to speak to your Practice Educator and AA and follow the Trust/employer guidelines and complete the absence form. For students coming into University for teaching or exams please note that we strongly advise you not to come on to campus if you are unwell or have Covid symptoms, and to take sensible steps to reduce the risk of transmission. If you are unwell and cannot attend teaching or exams for any reason you will be advised to speak to student support via Hallam Help to submit a RRAA.

Physiotherapy Placement 1 - Please ensure you have a call booked in your final week for your AA and PE to discuss your progress on placement, and moderate your mark. Remember to upload your Final feedback and Hours forms to the submission point on BB within 5 working days of the end of placement. If you have issues doing this, please contact your AA to avoid your mark being capped. Those who have just completed your ACRDM placement need to upload to last years PACRDM BB site.

Please note the deadline for expressing an interest in self-sourcing your next placement PP2 (May 2^nd until June 10^th) is March 14^th. Details of the process are under Module Documents on the BB site.

Mandatory training: Please see the announcement and

Course representatives: We still don't have many Course representatives for Level 5. Please contact your Year Lead if you are interested.

PCM: The summative assessment is going to revert back to a live presentation and viva (instead of the proposed screencast and viva) that is all on campus and face to face. This decision has been made as covid restrictions are lifting and this is the normal assessment process for PCM. Further information will be available via the Blackboard module site which Emily will send out when your placement has finished.

EEP - As advised before, the supervisory team agreed to respond to clear and direct questions around your assignment as part of the ongoing support we try to provide. Please keep your communication with your allocated supervisor to maintain consistency of the feedback.

Teaching opportunity at a local technical college - There is an opportunity for a small number students to teach on the Sports Injury module of Level 2: Cambridge National Sport Science course, at University Technical College Sheffield. Clearly this would be a brilliant opportunity and obviously a great opportunity to enhance your CV. please e mail p.hanley@shu.ac.uk and he will put you in touch with the tutor!

Thanks Ahmed Hassan (Level 5 Year Lead)

APP2 - Please ensure you contact your PE as soon as you receive their contact details. This will enable them to make plans for you ie IT access, your timetable. We are sharing PE contact details as soon as we receive them, so apologies for any delays. Our Practice Learning Coaches will be supporting you in the first part of your placement. Please make a 1:1 appointment with them and follow their guidance for booking midway phone calls. Your Academic Advisor will still be dong your final feedback call. There is a video below which they made in December introducing themselves (this was on the course update back then).

WWCiP

Hi

I am acutely aware the TAP hand in date is looming, however next week we have some WWCiP teaching which I believe will be beneficial.

• On Line Lecture: Is looking at the WWCiP’s Assignment Brief.

• Seminar One: Reviews Integrated Care Systems –which will hopefully provide a overall understanding of how the NHS is organised and works. In addition covering –help you fulfil Learning outcome four for your assignment

• Seminar Two: Considers the milestones of child and adolescent development. In addition to looking at common child and adolescent conditions and their potential management strategies.

Have a good weekend! Peter
