                Synopsis                   This  course  is  designed  to  help  students  gain  high  levels  of
                                           technical  skill  in  physical  assessment  to  produce  accurate
                                           measurements. Principles that govern physical assessment will be
                                           broadly discussed and critically evaluated. In addition students will
                                           reflect on aspects of ethics and professional practice. The course
                                           involves practical sessions which will be conducted in the laboratory
                                           or gymnasium.
