Person-Centred Practice and Post-Registration Practice
Delivered by our Division of Nursing , Occupational Therapy and Art Therapies , the postgraduate portfolio that includes the MSc Person-Centred Practice Framework reflects the burgeoning focus on person-centredness set within the contemporary context of health systems integration and the health and wellbeing agenda . This reflects professional and service needs , as identified by the relevant professional bodies , other stakeholders and policy drivers . The framework offers practitioners from different contexts the opportunity to develop their studies and to enhance their knowledge and expertise of person-centred practice through a flexible structure , designed to meet their needs and those of the wider community .
We live and work in a multi-professional and multi-faceted health systems environment . The need to be cognisant and masterful when dealing with the concepts of research , enquiry , abstraction and unpredictability has seldom been so important . The challenge of promoting personcentredness in such an environment requires skilled and talented practitioners who can operate in advanced clinical , educational , managerial and researchbased roles .
