To advance students’ knowledge of contemporary understandings and approaches in communication, ethical theory, critical thinking, reflection and ethical reasoning skills, in order to demonstrate the skills required for moral agency with clients, their family and carers as well as colleagues in a variety of health care settings.
To enable students to develop a capacity for moral agency required for physiotherapy practice, the course uses Rest’s four component model of moral behaviour and communication theory as a framework to teach an advanced knowledge and skillset of ethical reasoning and communication processes. The course seeks to develop student competence in moral sensitivity, judgement, motivation and courage, and the ability to address barriers to practice presented by managing emotions, power and rank and conflict.
