We are open to using more than one provider should we have multiple providers that meet our needs and allow flexible choice for students. In the event of using multiple providers, we will liaise with finance teams re: process for payment.

We would like an element of face-to-face teaching for physical assessment components of the module but are happy with a blended approach used to teach the theoretical components.
