Enabling occupation 3

In this unit, you will begin to shift your view beyond the occupational challenges facing individuals, to consider the ways in which the occupations, health and well-being of groups, communities, and populations' may be impacted by social, political and organisational factors. You will apply advanced clinical reasoning and intervention skills in case-based scenarios applied to groups of people and communities who are experiencing complex health and social problems rather than individuals. The cases chosen highlight the multiple approaches to occupational intervention, both individual/clinical and community/prevention.

Additionally, you will apply the principles of enabling occupational participation, occupational rights and justice to promote health and wellbeing for an identified population. You will learn and apply collaborative project management skills to co-design a project plan outlining the rationale for potential strategies for addressing a population- based occupational participation issue.

You will consolidate skills in information gathering and how to apply ethical principles to ensure safe practice when planning quality improvement activities.
