LCHS7003 Community Care and Management of Longer-term Conditions Assignment Brief APPENDIX GA36d

LCHS7003 Module Learning Outcomes

• Critically evaluate the physical, psychological, and social impact on individuals and families living with a long-term condition(s) and its treatment.
• Critically analyse the contribution of empirical evidence and local, national, and international guidelines to informing the delivery of ‘whole person’ care and self-management support for individuals with long term conditions.

LCHS7003 Task Description

Your task is to produce an information booklet on long-term health conditions and the management of these conditions for health and care service users or professionals in the UK. Your booklet should adopt language and concepts suitable for the chosen audience and be referenced throughout. You are free to choose the specific long-term condition you will focus on for the
information booklet. Options will be discussed and decided through the taught content in class. Submission is in week 6. A booklet template guide will be provided, and you should use this to guide you.

This information booklet should include the following:

An explanation and evaluation of the focused long-term condition, including the definition, burden/prevalence of the long-term condition (both worldwide and UK statistics) and the risk factors/aetiology of the health condition.

A critical evaluation of the impact of the long-term condition with a focus on physical, psychological and social implications on individuals and the wider implications on families involved in care provision. Could you outline suitable evidence-based treatments that are available in the UK through the NHS?

Provide recommendations for improvement in person-centred care approaches, including self-management and end-of-life care for long-term conditions where appropriate.

LCHS7003 General Submission Guidance

All your reports must include a title page that clearly states your name, your student number, the module code and title, your lecturer’s name, and your assignment title.

All your submissions should be typed in Arial with a suitable size and spacing for the task.

All reports must have a reference list and citations should be used throughout your work using Cite Them Right (Harvard) referencing.

On the module Moodle page, examples of booklet templates are provided.

LCHS7003 Guidance for Students in The Completion of Tasks

NOTE: The guidance offered below is linked to the five generic assessment criteria overleaf.

1. Engagement with Literature Skills

Your work must be informed and supported by scholarly material that is relevant to and focused on the task(s) set; you should make use of scholarly reviews and primary sources, as appropriate (for example, refereed research articles and/or original materials appropriate to the discipline). You should provide evidence that you have accessed a wide range of sources, which may be academic, governmental and industrial; these sources may include academic journal articles, textbooks, current news articles, organisational documents, and websites. You should consider the credibility of your sources; academic journals are normally highly credible sources, while websites require careful consideration/selection and should be used sparingly. Any sources you use should be current and up-to-date, mostly published within the last five years or so, though seminal/important works in the field may be older. You must provide evidence of your research/own reading throughout your work, using a suitable referencing system correctly, including in-text citations in the main body of your work and a reference list at the end of your work.

Guidance specific to this assessment:

  • Students must provide a minimum of 30 references throughout the assignment.
  •  Your booklet should contain credible and relevant sources, including books, journals and appropriate websites, which should be contemporary wherever possible.
  • In the information booklet, ensure you do both in-text citation and a list of references
  • Please use Harvard Referencing and ensure that there is a separate reference list for the resources you have used. All citations must be mentioned and referred to.

2. Knowledge and Understanding Skills

At level 7, you should be able to demonstrate a systematic understanding of knowledge, and a critical awareness of current problems and/or new insights, much of which is at, or informed by, the forefront of your academic discipline, field of study or area of professional practice, with a comprehensive understanding of techniques applicable to your own research or advanced scholarship. Your work must demonstrate your growing mastery of these concepts, principles, current challenges, innovation and insights associated with the subject area. Knowledge relates to the facts, information and skills you have acquired through your learning. You demonstrate your understanding by interpreting the meaning of the facts and information (knowledge). This means that you need to select and include in your work the contemporary concepts, techniques, models, theories, etc., appropriate to the task(s) set. You should be able to explain the theories, concepts, etc., meaningfully to show your understanding. Your mark/grade will also depend upon the extent to which you demonstrate your knowledge and understanding; ideally, each should be complete and detailed, with comprehensive coverage.

Guidance specific to this assessment:

  • You should elaborate upon the ideas and concepts identified within the literature you have read.
  • With the inclusion of various sources, you should aim to construct your work in your own words and avoid the direct quotation of others, demonstrating your own
    understanding of such ideas and clarifying and contextualising the information.

3. Cognitive and Intellectual Skills

You should be able to: evaluate critically current research and advanced scholarship in the discipline; evaluate methodologies and develop critiques of them, and, where appropriate, to propose new hypotheses; deal with complex issues both systematically and creatively to make sound judgements in the absence of complete data. Your work must contain evidence of logical, analytical thinking, evaluation and synthesis. For example, to examine and break information down into parts, make inferences, compile, compare and contrast information. This means not just describing what! But also justifying: Why? How? When? Who? Where? At what cost? At all times, you must justify your arguments and judgments. Evidence that you have reflected upon the ideas of experts within the subject area is crucial to you providing a reasoned and informed debate within your work. Your choice of methodologies to gather data and information must be rigorously defended. Furthermore, you should provide evidence that you can make sound judgments and convincing arguments using data and concepts. Sound, valid, persuasive conclusions are necessary and must be derived from the content of your work. Where relevant, alternative solutions and recommendations may be proposed.

Guidance specific to this assessment:

  • Engage in sound critical thinking and develop logical judgment and argument.
  •  From the literature you have amassed, you should aim to define two or more perspectives for each argument and, from this, draw sensible academic conclusions.
  • You should aim to include both supporting and contrasting statements to elucidate a complete picture.
  • You will ideally conclude the concepts covered within your work and consequently provide recommendations for future works of a similar vein.

4. Practical Skills

At level 7, you should be able to demonstrate originality in the application of knowledge, together with a practical understanding of how established techniques of research and enquiry are used to create and interpret knowledge in the discipline. This includes acting autonomously in planning and implementing tasks at a professional or equivalent level, originality in tackling and solving problems, and decision-making in complex and unpredictable contexts or situations.

You should be able to demonstrate mastery of the leading-edge subject-related concepts and ideas as they relate to real-world situations and/or particular contexts. How do they work in practice? You will deploy models, methods, techniques, and/or theories, in those contexts or circumstances, to assess current situations, perhaps to formulate plans or plausible, justifiable recommendations to solve problems, or to propose new models, or to create artefacts, which may be innovative and creative, thereby demonstrating your understanding of how the boundaries of knowledge are advanced through research and/or application. This is likely to involve, for instance, the use of real-world artefacts, examples and cases, the application of a model within an organisation and/or benchmarking one theory or organisation against others.

Guidance specific to this assessment:

  • Clearly identify and explore the context of this assignment.
  •  You will demonstrate your understanding of research practices in addition to your ability to present and reference included information.
  • Show your ability to identify and analyse problems/issues and propose possible solutions.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the application of concepts and theories into practice
  • Illustrate your claims by the use of statistics/data, real-life examples and highlighting best practice.
  • An understanding of the importance of the need for change and recommendations for improvement should be illustrated

5. Transferable Skills for Life and Professional Practice

Your work must provide evidence of the qualities and transferable skills necessary for postgraduate-level employment in circumstances requiring sound judgement, personal responsibility and initiative in complex and unpredictable professional environments. This includes demonstrating: the independent learning ability for continuing professional development to advance existing skills and acquire new competences of a professional nature that will enable you to assume significant responsibility within organisations; that you can initiate and complete tasks, projects and procedures, whether individually and/or collaboratively, to a professional level; that you can use appropriate media to effectively communicate information, arguments and analysis in a variety of forms for a variety of audiences; fluency of expression; clarity and effectiveness in presentation and organisation. Work should be coherent and well-structured in presentation and organisation.

Guidance specific to this assessment:

  • Ensure that your submission is clear, informative and well structured
  • Your information booklet should be written fluently and logically, include relevant theory and policy and be presented at an academic level appropriate for level 7.
  • Follow the guidance given in the assignment brief and guidelines.
  • Work should be presented in a suitable font, size 11, and text should be justified (straight margins on both sides) with 1.5 line spacing (ref list should be properly aligned)
