I have really appreciated that this module was delivered online. I live a good 2hrs away from the university, so the online learning allows me to learn in the comfort of my own home, without the worry of the time and cost of travelling to the Uni. 
The course content was vast but felt that there were varied teaching elements to keep me interested, while still being able to ask questions. The use of breakout groups allowed for small group work and discussion around the different elements. This module is very in-depth, but the way that UWE has structured the timetable and organised the different elements meant I was able to mentally focus on each element as it arose and not panic about the amount of work involved (for someone who is not very organised in life generally, this was a game changer!)
I’m not sure I personally gained much from the children’s visit/presentation ( working with adults only) but understand the module has to cater for non-medical prescribers in all areas of health care. 
Overall a really interesting module & well organised/structured. ]]> 2023-03-22 16:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2527462329 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528449598 I've found the overlap of some modules overwhelming.]]> 2023-03-23 08:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528449598 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528599859 I'm currently on PADRICP. I agree with the previous comment. The course lecturers are clearly experts in their field which is much appreciated. But as each lecture is broken down into 1.5 hr segments with 65 slides per lecture - it can feel a bit like death by power point. It is hard to remain focused at all times. It would also be helpful to have clearer guidelines as to what is in the exam as we go along. ]]> 2023-03-23 10:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528599859 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528601396 I really enjoy these sessions. It makes you feel you are not alone on this journey. The support and feed back is great. Thankyou]]> 2023-03-23 10:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528601396 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528603917 If you are working in an environment where you are able to put into practice the clinical skills and learning, this course is allot easier. If you are not, it is hard to get the experience you need to put the learning into some context and remain competent. ]]> 2023-03-23 10:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528603917 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528762743 Difficult module to cover. The blackboard resources are catered to several different versions of the module, which makes it very difficult to navigate such a vast (and at time irrelevant) amount of information. Inconsistencies of advice from the module lead and different module supervisors. Advised that it all links to research methods module, but in reality you are not allowed to overlap, so is a waste of time. Quality improvement guidance provided by local trust, not the actual module team, so begs the question of their actual role, especially when having to consistently question their advice. Misunderstandings about the 'competencies' and misinformation]]> 2023-03-23 12:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528762743 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528767353 Enjoy these sessions, though it's clear many people still don't understand the point of them. If done properly can be really beneficial. However, there are inconsistencies in how they are led, some leaders are better than others. The point of ALS needs to be explained better so that people understand the point, and so it doesn't feel like a contrived tick-box exercise. Was supposed to be part of a face to face group, but this still hasn't been organised.]]> 2023-03-23 12:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528767353 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528828072 Some colleagues have had very supportive and engaged supervisors where as I have had to chase and chase for feedback, often haven't received a reply to my emails and have had to go through other members of staff to prompt action. Literally no supervision between September and February; there appears to be very little consistency. This might be ok for some modules but in a self directed course where you feel like you are free falling anyway it would be nice to have that support and a clear stear on what you are doing. ]]> 2023-03-23 13:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2528828072 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2530470834 2023-03-24 13:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2530470834 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2530480300 There are time where I've had a email back which was short and appeard Direct like they weren't interested.
The issues with aptem cause a lot if stress including lost work and the work isn't marked or accepted until few days before the tripartite meetings then its rejected and more work is required which increase  more work for the apprentice which could have been done earlier ]]> 2023-03-24 14:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2530480300 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2530486842 I feel that I'm on my own and difficult to ask questions by typing on lectures which get missed ]]> 2023-03-24 14:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2530486842 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2531170089 I am coming to the end of my MSc and have been in to the uni for 2 practical half days for PACR and that's all. Sitting at home with online learning only has been a real struggle.

And unfortunately, the terms, that are meant to be across the board like becoming an 8A , are not. A big handicap when you know you won't get that band after so much work and time. UWE needs to be clearer about all this with ALL employers. We qualify with a standard regardless of what we might still have to learn & prove, so we should be able to become 8As regardless.]]> 2023-03-28 08:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2534643408 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2534647606 I have yet to meet the module leader.  Did not show in his time slot at end of the research module, was sick on first day of this module & went on annual leave a day he was meant to deliver an "extra" session to answer questions, that he had organised!  Poor!

I chased my English & Math for a year, and because of the delay from UWE, I have the added pressure of having to do the English whilst doing the EWBL as if that was not enough.

The material on Blackboard is confusing as it does not all apply to the ACP pathway 
The research module was uninspiring but the lecturers were excellent in their delivery and support. ]]> 2023-03-28 13:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2535001146 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2535055908 Excellent support from supervisor always very responsive. 
The rest of the module is hit and miss not really taught anything just got to read up on lots of stuff, too self directed, no teaching. Again agree with previous remarks your told its a continuation of the research module and you can use that idea but then told you get as you will self plagiarise! Competencies have to be done and in the appendices and yet this is not marked, yet if you don’t put them in then you will fail!! another example of putting way too much stuff in.

I support the strikes but having a looming deadline for EWBL and a further dr strike I know that I am going to have to put everything aside to deal with the clinical area pressures ]]> 2023-03-28 13:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2535068917 https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2538161916 Module was hit and miss. Very little teaching with most of the sessions consumed with student discussion regarding their chosen topics which would have been better discussed after teaching sessions. Was allocated a facilitator for the module as was told we could email with questions and could submit 600 words for feedback. However, four emails sent, and a separate email with the 600 words for feedback, but not one response from facilitator to any emails. This greatly impacted my over all mark for the assignment. ]]> 2023-03-30 10:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ACPfeedback2022/ostd6lpi6wbg7an4/wish/2538161916
