Infection, Immunity and Anti-Microbial Therapies

Advance your clinical skills in infection care through this online, expert-led module designed to deepen your knowledge and confidence using real-world case studies and evidence-based practice.

About this course

Develop your knowledge, confidence and competence in providing care for patients with infections. Building upon your clinical experience and case studies from practice, you will be challenged to interrogate the evidence that underpins clinical decisions.

This module is completely online using the latest digitally enhanced teaching techniques and delivered asynchronously (in your own time) and synchronously (through workshops, group activities and tutorial support). You will be taught and supported by academic lecturers and practising clinicians with a wealth of experience and expertise in their field.

This module will challenge you to:

Enhance your understanding of the physiology of immunity and response to infection, including sepsis.

Critically interrogate the evidence and decision-making which informs the choice of clinical therapies for those with infections.

Develop your knowledge of common pathogens, presentations and treatments, including anti-microbial pharmacology.
