Graduate Certificate in Neurological Rehabilitation

Collaboration between health professionals and consumers is essential to optimise person-centred care. Healthcare professionals looking to engage in leadership or supervisory roles, need advanced knowledge, skills and competencies of interprofessional practice to enhance their contribution to holistic care and optimise health outcomes.
Building on current practice knowledge, this subject will use collaborative processes and reflective activities, to enhance theoretical knowledge and interprofessional competencies in healthcare professionals. The role of various Healthcare professionals within the interprofessional context to optimise collaborative practice within the interprofessional context across all health care settings will be explored. Students will be encouraged to critically analyse their own interprofessional capabilities and competencies in order to critically evaluate interprofessional collaborative practice within the workplace. Students will subsequently propose and evaluate initiatives and strategies to optimise interprofessional collaboration.
This subject will enable students to develop and apply enhanced knowledge and skills in interprofessional practice to optimise the consumer-therapist and interprofessional relationships. This subject aims to support healthcare professionals to develop and provide leadership in collaborative multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to health care, within current and future practice.

Optimising Interprofessional Practice for Healthcare Professionals

This postgraduate subject is for health care professionals looking to enhance their clinical reasoning within rehabilitation practice. Health care professionals wishing to advance their rehabilitation practice will need to critically reflect on and apply enhanced knowledge of rehabilitation practice, to optimise holistic outcomes for clients.
Building on current practice, this subject will use collaborative and reflective activities, to critically evaluate and justify clinical decision making for a range of clinical cases in diverse rehabilitation contexts. Students are encouraged to critically evaluate personal and professional knowledge, skills and attitudes on holistic patient centred care, with a focus on integrating and applying concepts such as goal setting, self-management and evidence based practice. Students are encouraged to embrace reflective practice for long-life learning, as well as develop reflective practice in collaboration with colleagues. 
The subject aims to guide students in their critical analysis and enhancement of current practice, to optimise the professional management of clients across the continuum of care within a multicultural society and varied rehabilitation contexts.

Enhancing Clinical Reasoning in Rehabilitation for Healthcare Professionals

Experienced health professionals focusing on delivering rehabilitation or restoration for people who require complex care require advanced knowledge and skills to adopt holistic and interprofessional approaches to optimise outcomes and enhance participation. HLSC632 builds on the knowledge gained in HLSC630 providing a range of complex cases, purposefully designed to enhance knowledge, encourage reflection and facilitate autonomous and collaborative learning. The cases aim to draw out the complex interplay of factors related to the person’s health condition, activity, participation levels, and contextual factors such as socioeconomic and culture using a universal framework to facilitate interprofessional discussion, as well as facilitate discussion on current practice and innovative management. Cases and activities have been designed to examine the complex interplay of factors related to foster holistic discipline and interprofessional management with the purpose of maximising outcomes across the continuum of care and increasing capacity for participation in daily activities, work and leisure within a person-centred framework. Students will practice communicating clinical decision-making processes, critically analysing delivery of their services, and those provided by others, thereby promoting collaboration for current and future academic and clinical practice. This unit aims to encourage students to incorporate learning into clinical reasoning processes, to enhance collaboration with people with a range of complex health conditions, their families and other interprofessional team members, to optimise outcomes across the continuum of care.

Holistic Rehabilitation and Restoration 2

Given the rising number of people requiring rehabilitation and restoration, and the increasing awareness of the needs of those ageing, with injury or disability, professionals working with these people are encouraged to adopt holistic and interprofessional approaches to optimise outcomes. This unit provides a range of case stories purposefully designed to enhance knowledge, encourage reflection and facilitate autonomous and collaborative learning. The cases aim to draw out the complex interplay of factors related to the person’s health condition, activity, participation levels, and contextual factors such as socioeconomic and culture using a universal framework to facilitate interprofessional discussion. Holistic discipline and interdisciplinary assessment and intervention strategies will be explored, enabling reflection on evidence informed, person-centred and innovative practice. Students will practice communicating clinical decision-making processes, critically analysing delivery of their services, and those provided by others, thereby promoting collaboration for current and future academic and clinical practice. This unit aims to encourage students to incorporate learning into clinical reasoning processes, to enhance collaboration with people with a range of health conditions, their families and other interprofessional team members, to optimise outcomes across the continuum of care.
