Emotional Intelligence
About this subject
On completion of this subject students should be able to achieve the following learning outcomes:
1. Evaluate the practice of critical reflection and reflexivity as a means of obtaining meaningful personal and professional insights to respond to patient needs.
2. Analyse the theoretical underpinnings of critical reflection and reflexivity and apply these to personal and professional reflective contexts.
3. Distinguish and effectively manage barriers and enablers for effective therapeutic and professional actions.
- Quality patient care
- Skills in critical reflection and reflexivity
- Clinical reasoning
Learning from clinical experiences, rather than from formal teaching, is possibly the most important source of personal development and improvement for health professionals. Students in this subject will develop skills in critical reflection and reflexivity as it encourages them to consider alternative approaches to their practice. Students will be encouraged to examine strategies underpinned by theory to address personal or professional matters and to strive to achieve positive outcomes for both themselves and quality patient care.
