Abstract|
The aim of this subject is to provide students with the knowledge and skills to critically reflect on integrative transdisciplinary approaches to providing effective person centred care. Students will develop a deeper appreciation of the necessity to become familiar with the concepts and approaches of colleagues, the sharing of disciplinary roles and functions, and the blurring of disciplinary boundaries thus facilitating effective and timely person centred care across a disease trajectory. |
