Learning outcomes are what students know, understand and are able to do on completion of a unit of study. They are aligned with the University's graduate qualities and are assessed as part of the curriculum.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

LO1. demonstrate an understanding of the roles of the various professionals, including physiotherapists, who work in the area of aged care and have a working knowledge of relevant legislation pertaining to management of older people with health needs
LO2. explain how older people are managed in a variety of residential and hospital settings, and the services that are available for them
LO3. identify factors that may place an individual at risk of falling, perform assessment of such risks, discuss the acute and chronic effects of falls, and derive programs, based on best practice guidelines, to minimise falls risk in older people, and to treat individuals who have sustained a fall
LO4. examine the potential effects of cognitive decline in older people
LO5. understand the key issues around such areas as elder abuse and palliative care in the ageing population
LO6. demonstrate an understanding of the roles that physiotherapists and other health professionals play in amputation and burns management.
LO7. solve relevant paediatric clinical problems accessing appropriate resources and using a process of clinical reasoning
LO8. demonstrate an understanding of typical growth and development from birth to adolescence, and discuss the occurrence of variations in typical development and possible reasons for these
LO9. describe the potential impact of atypical development on the skeletal, respiratory, and neurological systems
LO10. identify the potential psychosocial impact of illness, disease, and/or disability on a child, their family, and their community
LO11. understand how to communicate with children and families, taking into account cultural diversity
LO12. understand and know the professional responsibilities and ethical conduct when working with paediatric patients and their families
LO13. select paediatric physiotherapy interventions based on the best evidence available, and identify how the intervention would be managed and evaluated
LO14. describe a plan of management for a paediatric problem that also recognises the potential role of other health practitioners.

Graduate qualities

The graduate qualities are the qualities and skills that all University of Sydney graduates must demonstrate on successful completion of an award course. As a future Sydney graduate, the set of qualities have been designed to equip you for the contemporary world.

GQ1	Depth of disciplinary expertise Deep disciplinary expertise is the ability to integrate and rigorously apply knowledge, understanding and skills of a recognised discipline defined by scholarly activity, as well as familiarity with evolving practice of the discipline.
GQ2	Critical thinking and problem solving Critical thinking and problem solving are the questioning of ideas, evidence and assumptions in order to propose and evaluate hypotheses or alternative arguments before formulating a conclusion or a solution to an identified problem.
GQ3	Oral and written communication Effective communication, in both oral and written form, is the clear exchange of meaning in a manner that is appropriate to audience and context.
GQ4	Information and digital literacy Information and digital literacy is the ability to locate, interpret, evaluate, manage, adapt, integrate, create and convey information using appropriate resources, tools and strategies.
GQ5	Inventiveness Generating novel ideas and solutions.
GQ6	Cultural competence Cultural Competence is the ability to actively, ethically, respectfully, and successfully engage across and between cultures. In the Australian context, this includes and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledge systems, and a mature understanding of contemporary issues.
GQ7	Interdisciplinary effectiveness Interdisciplinary effectiveness is the integration and synthesis of multiple viewpoints and practices, working effectively across disciplinary boundaries.
GQ8	Integrated professional, ethical, and personal identity An integrated professional, ethical and personal identity is understanding the interaction between one’s personal and professional selves in an ethical context.
GQ9	Influence Engaging others in a process, idea or vision.
