INTRODUCTION Welcome to module HUG 3107 Approaches to Care with Older Adults. On successful completion of all the elements within the module, you will be awarded 20 credits at Level 6. Given a choice, the majority of frail older people would prefer to live in their own homes despite their disabilities, loneliness, problems of care and being ‘at risk’. This module then provides you with the opportunity to focus upon various service provisions within the eight National Service Standards e.g. (DH, 2001), thereby, affording you the opportunity to explore a different dimension of study. Throughout the module I will be your module leader and my contact details are listed on this handbook cover. If you wish to arrange a tutorial outside the timetabled support, please contact me to arrange an appointment. This will ensure that I am available to see you and will prevent a wasted journey for yourself. This module handbook should be read in conjunction with your Programme Handbook provided at the start of the course and available in your BlackBoard area, which details important information regarding confidentiality, academic rules, regulations and support. On behalf of all the staff within the Faculty of Health and Social Care, I would like to offer you a warm welcome, I hope that you enjoy this module and wish you every success.

Within your presentation you will be required to demonstrate:

A critical, analytical approach;

An ability to problem solve;

Utilisation of up to date literature/evidence from research to support points raised.

An ability to answer questions from the audience You will be expected to supply relevant hand-outs and recommended reading/reference list to your colleagues as part of the seminar presentation. The seminar will be marked out of 100% and meets learning outcomes 1 and 3. Essay: You are required to produce a written piece of work of approximately 3000 words in which you critically analyse and evaluate factors, which both help and hinder the promotion of rehabilitation and independence within your practice environment. Within the essay, you must also consider the utilisation of valid assessment tools and the role of the expert specialist practitioner in the maintenance of … The assignment must:

Be critically analytical in style – do not adopt a descriptive, narrative approach.

Follow a logical sequence.

Be presented in a protective cover (but not a bulky hard backed file or individual plastic sleeves).

Be computer generated.

Demonstrate your ability to critical analyse and utilise research/literature to support the points/issues/arguments raised.

Follow the Harvard referencing system. .

The assignment will be marked out of 100% and meets learning outcomes 2 and 4.
