We recognise the importance of experiential learning that takes place in the workplace, by enabling you to focus on context-specific projects to enhance and influence aspects of your and others' practice. As you undertake a project, you will address both the learning outcomes of the module and specific self-defined learning outcomes. Through your experience of defining, planning and engaging in an innovation, service development or a skill development project, you will not only be contributing to your service but also engaging in work-based learning.
