Transitioning to Community-Based Allied Health Practice CXA713
Launceston
Introduction
This unit consolidates knowledge and skills related to collaborative leadership and public health and synthesises them with skills and shared frameworks critical for allied health professionals working in community-based settings. Principles of population health and prevention and promotion strategies are used to examine the social needs or issues in a place or population group, prioritise issues for action, and match appropriate change action frameworks for population health in community-based practice settings. Through application of research and evidence-based practice skills, forms of health care entrepreneurship are examined as a context for students to develop entrepreneurial attributes, including creativity, innovation, ethical public health analysis and critical abilities needed for work readiness in our complex and ever-changing world.
