Promoting Healthy Ageing Level 7 (Health CPD)

This 20-credit, Level 7 module focuses on fulfilling learning criteria associated with NHS England’s Advanced Practice Credential Specification Community Rehabilitation for Healthy Ageing (2022) alongside their Advanced Clinical Practice in Older People Curriculum Framework (2022). The aim of this Specification and the Curriculum Framework is to support the delivery of high quality, evidence-based services across disciplines, which support and promote older people’s health, wellbeing, independence, and enablement through an empowering rehabilitative approach to health and care. Undertaking this module will enable practitioners to provide assessments and interventions with older people using contemporary evidence-based approaches.

Throughout the module there will be an emphasis on delivering person-centred services, through holistic approaches to assessment, interventions and care, in order to develop services to promote the health and wellbeing of older people, leading to improved services and enhanced quality of life for older people. Key topics and areas of practice addressed within the module include models of health promotion for living well in later life alongside person-centred approaches to behaviour change, such as health coaching and motivational interviewing. The growing role of social prescribing and recognition of the need for shared decision-making alongside multi-agency working, help to address complex health and social needs arising through risk-laden scenarios
