Often, the only thing that people experiencing homelessness have in common is that they lack housing. Those who work in homelessness need to have excellent interpersonal skills to effectively engage with such a diverse population with complex needs. Basic counselling skills are the foundation of effective interpersonal skills that allow us to engage with people and build strong therapeutic relationships.

PWPs assess and support people with common mental health problems in the self-management of their recovery. To do so they must be able to undertake a range of patient-centred assessments and be able to identify the main areas of concern relevant to the assessment undertaken. They need to have knowledge and
competence to be able to apply these in a range of different assessment formats and settings. These different elements or types of assessment include screening/triage assessment; risk assessment; provisional diagnostic assessment; mental health clustering assessment; psychometric assessment (using the IAPT
standardised symptoms measures); problem focused assessment; and intervention planning assessment. In all these assessments they need to be able to engage patients and establish an appropriate relationship whilst gathering information in a collaborative manner.

Solving complex medical research questions and refining clinical care works best when done in collaboration between diverse public (including patients), researchers and health care practitioners. This sort of partnership requires exchange of knowledge, trust and some special ways of working. This module tells you how it is done and helps you develop your own skills – ranging from research skills through to philosophy – which are considered as essential for the development of successful researchers.

Collaboration with the public over research means understanding what is known about the relationship between research and society and learning from approaches taken in the social sciences, in science communication, and the arts and humanities. In this module, you will explore the core concepts of patient-public involvement and engagement (PPIE), hear from professionals and practitioners from an array of settings at the University, NHS and civic groups about the principles, ethics, challenges and solutions in this work, using examples from a range of health areas.

You will develop skills in written and spoken communication of science to a lay audience - something that could help you in a clinical setting with patients or when interacting with the media, policy makers or engagement with general public. You will learn how clear, open and trusted conversations with people about your work can build a deeper involvement of patients and public with your research. In doing so, you will discover that high quality engagement and involvement tackles power dynamics, social injustice and inequalities.

You will explore different engagement techniques including story-telling, arts-based methods, how to tailor your engagement to different audiences, and discover the power of listening to people. You’ll hear from University academics about what they did and how they knew it had worked for their research – in other words, the ‘impact’ it had. Finally, you will develop and present your own public engagement or involvement idea – along the way, you’ll be thinking about how to measure the impact of your creation and who to tell about it.

In this module, you will gain knowledge and understanding of how strategic communication is essential for driving audience engagement and successful brand positioning. You will explore contemporary and creative integrated marketing communication (IMC) strategies, supported by relevant theories, models, and frameworks. Through a blend of contemporary, traditional, and digital strategies and media, you will learn how to craft compelling brand stories and develop dynamic, engaging campaigns. The module focuses on how to integrate communication channels effectively to deliver consistent and impactful messaging. You will also explore trends and innovations in the field, including sustainable communication practices, and gain the skills to plan and execute both online and offline IMC strategies. By the end of the module, you’ll understand how to connect with audiences meaningfully and strategically, using storytelling as a powerful tool for brand growth and differentiation.

Students should gain a knowledge of how political ideas - such as freedom, equality, justice, or democracy - have been understood in different and incompatible ways, and how those different understandings have been the occasion for ideological or normative debates. Through an analysis of those concepts and the ways in which they are deployed, students will gain an insight into the nature of some of the most important historical and/or contemporary controversies within political theory.
