As part of the spiral curriculum, some previously explored concepts will be related to leading and managing the care of patients. Learning and teaching strategies will enhance student engagement, accessibility, flexibility and personalisation of the curriculum through the use of technology/digital learning where appropriate. The learning and teaching strategy will provide an educational framework which promotes active learning. Within this context, there will be a balance of approaches which may include lectures, tutorials, group work, role play, reflective exercises, guided reading, online learning, simulation and other practical activities. Guided and self-directed study, including interactive resources supported by a virtual learning environment, will be used to prepare students for each week's activities and assist in consolidation of their learning.
