The module examines service improvement and innovation and provides the scope and skills for you to undertake an evidence-based service improvement project. At the start of this module you must begin to think about their Research Dissertation. It is your responsibility to find a local Supervisor, who will be the primary contact during the dissertation, to arrange sponsorship, funding and ethics.

The course allows you to decide to which level you wish to train: 

• For the PGDip, you’ll need to complete six compulsory modules. These include 4 subject related modules (1. Colorectal emergencies, 2. Neoplasia, 3. Inflammatory bowel disease and 4. Proctology and functional bowel) and 2 generic modules (1. Management and service delivery and 2. Integrated research). 
• For the Master’s level qualification you will follow the same as the PGDip, and, in addition, you will need to complete a year-long Dissertation module. 

Each module is delivered over 16 week period.   

You should plan on around 165 hours of study per 16-week module. There will be 35 hours per module of e-tutor support, in the format of mediated forum discussions. We use a Problem Based Learning approach in two-week blocks with follow-up online assessment. For each task, we provide links to relevant literature and resources directly through our VLE, saving you time and allowing you to progress in a targeted way. There are MCQs and various other learning resources including videos to help learning about the topic. 

You will need to demonstrate a minimum of 80% online engagement to receive CPD accreditation for each module. A summative written assessment for each module; complete it successfully and you’ll be awarded 20 university credits. Acquire 60 credits and, in addition to your CPD accreditation, you’ll also be awarded a Postgraduate Certificate. Successfully complete assessments for 6 modules and you’ll acquire 120 credits and receive a Postgraduate Diploma. 

If you then decide to complete a 60 credit Master’s dissertation project, you’ll achieve 180 credits in total, and a Master’s degree. The summative assessment format for 4 subject related modules is 4000 word reflective essay, which will be submitted and marked online. Your research and management modules will involve the online submission of a piece of written work, marked according to the UEA postgraduate senate scale.
