Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in Long Term Conditions - Level 6 - AC6662
Delivered as part of the Health and Social Practice Framework

Designed by a multi-professional team including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Nurses, Midwives, Social Care Staff and Medical practitioners our range of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is tailored towards individuals who are driving and enabling practice development in NHS North East.

Northumbria is the principal provider of nurse education in the North East of England and was named Nurse Education Provider of the Year (post-registration) for three consecutive years by Student Nursing Times.

We have excellent relationships with partner services in health, social care and social work and our range of CPD provision supports practitioners and managers to engage in professional learning and then examine how this can be integrated in the practice arena.

You will learn through a blended learning approach which will incorporate the use of the University’s interactive Blackboard Ultra, lectures, discussions and workshops.  Technology enabled learning will be enhanced through your interaction with Blackboard Ultra which will give you the flexibility to access the module materials and aids remotely.  The lectures will cover theories and concepts that will enable you to tackle a series of guided exercises.  Many of the exercises will ensure you co-construct knowledge collaboratively with your module peers during the workshops. 

The formative assessment for this module requires you to complete various exercises during the lectures and workshops.

Completion of the exercises will demonstrate the ability to:

• Research and critically evaluate differing types of evidence; discussing with peers and teachers how relevant the evidence is to your own clinical practice.
• Work collaboratively within a learning community; presenting information to your module peers in a variety of formats.

You will be encouraged to seek formative feedback from both module tutors and peers before the summative assessment date which gives you the opportunity to improve their evidence of learning through critical reflection and constructive criticism.

The summative assessment for this module requires the student to write a 2500 word critical exploration and evaluation of a case study that demonstrates their ability to contextualise the central components of CBT.

This course is based at our Coach Lane Campus where you will have access to cutting-edge facilities with technology embedded through all aspects of your CPD course.
