Content This module is deliberately positioned so that it forms the required theoretical basis, and therefore preparation for, the first major block of practice (Placement Block B). The module is delivered using a variety of methods including lectures, tutorials, practical case based workshops and problem-based interactive sessions. Integrated case-based problem or issue-driven classes form a major part of the programme. Module topics/areas include: Dietetic care process, qualititative and quantitative methods of assessment, anthropometric methodology, evaluation of biochemical and clinical data, dietetic diagnoses, goal setting, ethical and legal considerations, calculation of nutritional requirements for patients and translation of this into practical advice and care planning, specific dietary modifications in the treatment of named diseases (eg obesity, cardiovascular disease, coeliac disease, neurological conditions, oncology, diabetes), methods for optimising nutritional status in disease, lifestyle modification methods of nutritional support (fortification, oral supplements, enteral tube feeding, parenteral feeding), types and use of nutritional products, methods of monitoring and evaluating outcome All topics/areas are taught in the context of delivering clinically effective, patient centred care in both the acute and primary care settings. The module also examines where relevant the (extending) role of the dietitian within the interprofessional team. Main Texts Trichopoulou, A. (1992), Greek Food Composition Tables. 2nd ed.

Learning Experiences The module will engage the student in the following types of learning experiences: Experiential work based learning : (12 weeks) learning is by experience and is work-based Independent learning and reflection encouraged by use of a personal portfolio (logbook) Field research: case-based (Case History) and may also include small project work. Reflection: within the practice setting and on return to AMC Presentations: within the practice setting and on return to AMC Problem based learning: on return to AMC after placement students are expected to share and reflect on experiences along with consolidating knowledge of disease states encountered in Placement B and preparing for client groups more likely to be encountered on Placement C (eg Intensive Care, Renal, Liver, Parenteral) The placement component of this module contributes 450 hours to the attainment of 1000 hours of practical training and is in line with the BDA UK Curriculum Framework for the Pre Registration Education and Training of Dietitians 2008. Students must work the statutory hours of a full time dietitian in the Greek National Health System, of which normally a minimum of 2 hours per week will be dedicated to private study. Contact hours with teaching staff: 10 They are given statutory and public holidays or time off in lieu. Significant time lost through sickness must be made up Assessment Pattern Competency based: The student follows the prescribed Placement B Block, which usually occur at the end of Level 3. Students require to achieve a pass standard in the placement block. The responsibility for deciding whether a pass standard has been achieved rests with the dietitian in charge of the placement in consultation with the module tutor. Students will keep a portfolio of their learning (formative) in the practice setting and are required to present this for discussion and reflection to practice providers and on return to AMC. Students subsequently return for a period of consolidation and summative assessment in Semester 1 of Level 4. The module will be assessed through a Portfolio and Practice Supervisor assessment of placement (Pass/Fail) and a Case based summative assignment (100%) which integrates Physiology, Pharmacology, Therapeutic Dietetics and interprofessional roles. This will occur at end of the module and will require the student to critically appraise and justify the dietetic management of a given disease state. Can this Module be Anonymously marked?

The responsibility for deciding whether a pass standard has been achieved rests with the dietitian in charge of the placement in consultation with the University tutor. Students will keep a portfolio of their learning (formative) in the practice setting and are required to present this for discussion and reflection to practice providers and on return to AMC. The module will be assessed through the Portfolio and Practice Supervisor assessment of placement (Pass/Fail) and an Unseen summative examination (100%) which primarily focuses on the practice of dietetics, and the role of the dietitian within the interprofessional team setting. Can this Module be Anonymously marked? Yes If No please provide an explanation.
