Unit description
This unit further develops the role of reflective practice in the delivery of person-centred inter-professional health care. Using experiences from clinical physiotherapy placements and exploration of written accounts of personal experiences of health care, this unit provides opportunities for students to examine and reflect on inter-professional practice in Australian health care. The unit also assists students to develop generic attributes and capabilities as well as learn strategies for self-management and lifelong development within the physiotherapy profession. Students will be required to draft professional development plans based on their experience and emerging interests.
