You are required to independently conduct an advanced holistic assessment of a patient with a long term condition, within their practice setting. The learner will present this assessment with an evidenced based critical analysis commentary. This will take the form of a 3,000-word assignment which could be a case study, options appraisal or business case designed to improve care/services for people with a long term condition. This will enable you to demonstrate their achievement of the learning outcomes set out within the module outline i.e. judgement and care planning, collaborative working and policy drivers. You will be able to apply this to your area of practice, giving the flexibility to all types of learners.
