The summative assessment will be a 3,000 word written assignment as a case report. You will be required to identify an appropriate case from your area of professional practice and present an evidence based discussion of management of the case. This approach enables you to draw from your professional practice and to direct and apply learning to practice. The case report will be structured to provide guidance and ensure that you meet the learning outcomes of the module.
Formative assessment will take place through scheduled activities.
