This will be interspersed with guest speakers in niche areas of Sports Therapy to develop students understanding of the context of their profession. There will be a number of opportunities for peer interaction and reflective learning through the holistic approach and use of real-life case study analysis. All of these methods will be supported through materials on WebLearn.
