BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy Bachelor's degree at East London

The aim of this module is to provide learners with the opportunity to demonstrate pre-requisite knowledge and skills in the basics of Chemistry and Biology through engagement in a-year-long subject specific learning activities. The emphasis of this module is on developing practical skills and abilities needed for Bioscience and problem solving as the pedagogy to support students in demonstrating pre-requisite knowledge and skills required to progress to courses across Biosciences. This module wi

This module will prepare students for academic study, by focussing on personal, professional and academic development. This module takes a reflective approach allowing for recognition of existing skills and development of those needed at Higher Education. While in essence, a skills development curriculum will lead to deep understanding of the expectations of higher-level academic study, the ability to meet those expectations with support from professional services and the instigation of skills h

This module provides an immersive introduction to health and wellbeing through active, practice-based learning. Students will develop their understanding of common health conditions by engaging directly with clinical skills, simulation and case-based scenarios. Rather than learning about healthcare from a distance, learners experience it in action. Through the exploration of key health areas such as diabetes, smoking-related disease and obesity, students integrate theory with practical applicati

The module aims to develop your life and professional skills, enhance your employment prospects and progression in line with careers associated with your course of study. You will actively seek and engage with various digital platforms (e.g., Career Zone, LinkedIn Learning), University services that will offer you opportunities, to explore, evaluate, learn and participate in activities that enhance your professional skills and reflect on how to plan your career. Academic staff in the various deg

This module introduces you to the lived reality of caring practice. Through the experiences of patients, families, and professionals, you will explore what it means to care for people in situations of vulnerability and begin developing yourself as a compassionate, reflective practitioner. You will explore what it means to be a health professional by engaging with three complementary perspectives: the patient, the healthcare system, and your own developing professional identity. You will examine

This module provides the foundations for clinical physiotherapy practice. You will explore the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics of the lower limb and lumbar spine, developing an understanding of their structure, function and movement. Alongside the theoretical content, you will develop practical skills in assessing movement and function of the lower extremities and lumbar spine. These core competencies provide the foundation for future clinical study by combining scientific knowledge with pr

The aims of this module are to develop your foundational knowledge and understanding of the scientific principles underlying human body function, with a particular emphasis on the structures and anatomy of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. You will explore how these systems contribute to homeostasis and how this understanding informs safe and effective practice in Physiotherapy. Practical sessions will enable you to practice assessment techniques such as recording vital signs, assessin

The overall aim of the module is to provide you with foundations for clinical practice in Physiotherapy. Concepts of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics related to physical activity and skilled movement within the upper limb and thoracic region are introduced. You will develop basic practical competencies of assessment, management and evaluation of discrete problems affecting the upper extremities and thoracic region. This module lays the groundwork for further study by integrating theory and p

The overall aim of the module is to provide you with the foundations for physiotherapy clinical practice related to skills you will practice on clinical placement and beyond in your professional career. This includes therapeutic moving and manual handling, balance, gait analysis and basic exercise prescription. Embedded within this module is an introduction to mobility aids and the role of sustainability in healthcare. This module lays the groundwork for further study by integrating evidence-bas

Professional practice and professionalism are core concepts within the work of healthcare professionals. In this interprofessional learning module you will explore the development of professionalism in healthcare, including building an understanding of your professional roles and identity alongside increased awareness of the role of others. You will study both intrinsic and extrinsic elements shaping professionalism, underpinned by HCPC Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics. Topics in

The aims of this module are to develop your foundational knowledge and understanding of the scientific principles underlying human body function, with a particular emphasis on the structures and anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous systems. You will explore how these neuro-physiological systems contribute to the production, coordination, and control of movement, and how this understanding informs safe and effective practice in Physiotherapy. Practical sessions will enable you to apply t

This module aims to introduce you to physiotherapy practice and professional socialisation within the clinical setting and to the standards of proficiency outlined for Physiotherapists by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). During this module you will have the opportunity to develop appropriate patient handling and communication skills as outlined by HCPC standards. You will develop and apply a range of initial patient assessment and management skills including education, exercis

This module continues to build on the principles introduced at Level 4 related to the assessment and management of patients with cardiovascular and respiratory presentations. You will develop a problem-solving approach to diagnosis and management by improving your understanding of common pathologies, exploring the efficacy of various approaches and treatment modalities, and considering acute and chronic patient management from a holistic and reflexive point of view.

The aims of this Neurological Physiotherapy module are to develop and expand on assessment and treatment principles within a neurological context. You will expand your knowledge and understanding of normal central nervous system development and use this as a reference for problem solving and recognising how acquired neurological deficit can impact on movement control. This level 5 module will encourage your understanding of motor learning principles to problem solve and develop solutions and str

This module builds on the theme of evidence-based practice introduced in the first year of the course. It focuses on the understanding and interpretation of contemporary research evidence and its use within professional reasoning and problem solving to guide therapeutic action. You will be introduced to the philosophical foundations and principles of scientific enquiry underpinning established research methodologies, including qualitative, quantitative and mixed method research designs.
