Upon the successful completion of this module, the student should be able to:
• Demonstrate knowledge and critical understanding of innovation, creativity and enterprising mindset, recognising the values and the contribution creativity makes to the common good.
• Conceive, articulate and apply creative thinking within a work-based or academic context to develop novel solutions and/or value creation.

• How could this innovation be implemented, by whom, and where (health and social care work-based context).
• What is a realistic timeline for designing this innovation. Page 3 of 11
