Overview
In this second intervention unit, you will further describe, apply, and critique the principles of assessment and intervention for individuals and groups of clients who are restricted in their ability to engage in activities, occupations, and participate in community life. Intervention principles will also incorporate environmental supports and barriers (e.g. advocacy, organisational and system change, workforce development, environmental adaptation) and be grounded in evidence-based practice. The common characteristics of primary health care will form the framework including issues of expanded access, multi-professional service teams, optimal service coordination, service reconfiguration, and a focus on service user engagement, collaboration, and empowerment.
This unit also gives you an advanced overview of the skills necessary to critique and evaluate research evidence and in preparing reports for and presenting to organisational management. In doing so, you will be introduced to the nature and scope of organisational decision making and service system funding that relate to primary health care, as well as to methodologies related to evaluating, using, and undertaking research to inform this work.
This will provide the foundation to integrate clinically relevant evidence into daily professional practice as well as to the knowledge and skills needed to affect change and development at the practice, workforce, organisational, and system levels.
Within this unit you will also complete a learning module “Allies in Indigenous Health 2” to develop and strengthen skills in anti-racist practice and collaborative care when working with Indigenous peoples.
A fieldwork block of 3 weeks full time will conclude the term (112 hours).
