Overview

Module aims and purpose

The module introduces the students to current research into eating, drinking and swallowing disorders across the lifespan. The module considers critical evaluation of evidence based assessment, identification and management of eating, drinking and swallowing disorders across populations and settings.聽

Module learning outcomes

By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:聽

  1. Demonstrate in-depth evidence-based knowledge of the normal and disordered swallow聽
  2. Show a clear understanding and critical evaluation of current approaches to assessment of swallowing and the differential diagnosis of swallowing disorders聽
  3. Identify and critique current intervention and intervention studies聽
  4. Synthesise ideas and articulate arguments in the field of swallowing with explicit reference to different populations聽

Module content

The module will provide students with in depth knowledge of the normal swallow and cortical control of swallowing by considering current research and critically evaluating the knowledge base of this relatively new field. The module will consider eating, drinking and swallowing disorders across a broad range of populations enabling the students to develop transferable skills. The options for case management based on assessment findings and current literature will be explored and considered within a multidisciplinary framework. Issues arising with swallowing disorders in specialised areas will be considered.聽

Structure

Teaching and learning methods

There will be 12 hours of lectures and 8 hours of student-led seminars. During the seminars specific research papers will be discussed in depth and students will be expected to have read the paper and to contribute to the discussion and problem solving tasks.聽

  • the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
  • where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
  • where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.

Assessments marked Pass/Fail

  • where the piece of work is submitted within three working days of the deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): no penalty will be applied;
