Within the FdSc, the practice learning element will take place in Year 2 as a central part of the module Practice Learning 1, which is designed to enable and support students to apply the theoretical and conceptual components of the programme to practice within an appropriate workplace setting (e.g. MIND the Mental Health Charity, community mental health services, e.g. the Samaritans, as well as broader health and care settings). Students will be required to reflect upon their professional practice, and identify how they can develop and enhance this within their individual workplace.
