Module Indicative Content
This module will:
Explore a selection of ways of modelling religious and ethical difference, paying particular attention to the assumptions they make and the ways in which they condition the practitioner / patient interaction
Offer a critical review of the current NHS understanding of 'religious belief' from the perspective of representatives of some of the nine major belief systems it recognises:- Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jain, Judaism, Sikhism, and Zoroastrianism
Seek to develop and evaluate practical strategies that students can use when interacting with patients of differing belief
Raise awareness amongst participants and provide them with appropriate perspectives on the skills and knowledge needed to meet the needs of a diverse population.
