Develop your competence, knowledge, understanding, confidence and clinical skills in advanced clinical assessment and examination, including complex history taking and physical examination techniques, underpinned with understanding illness and disease progression and resultant symptoms. 

Clinical reasoning and leadership are seen as key skills that healthcare practitioners working at an advanced level need to possess. Without these skills, there is clear evidence that patients come to harm. Learning about clinical reasoning is seen as essential to meet the demands of today.

This module enables practitioners to understand the key theoretical underpinnings of clinical reasoning and leadership. You will benefit from innovative digital teaching methods and clinical simulation in a multi-million pound healthcare campus. This module builds upon history taking and clinical examination skills to provide an immersive simulation lead design.

You will select a pathway as part of this module, choosing from Pharmacist-independent prescribing, Nurse-independent and supplementary prescribing or Physiotherapist, Chiropodist, Podiatrist and Paramedic independent supplementary prescribing.

This module will provide you with the theoretical underpinning knowledge that is required to recognise the deteriorating child. The module is taught by academic staff and current practicing clinicians who are experts in their field. You will learn how to use a systematic approach of assessment to identify and treat the deteriorating child presenting with a variety of chronic and acute conditions.

This module enables students to examine the context of specialist practice and define their role as educators within clinical settings. Through a practice-based project, students apply leadership and innovation skills to real challenges, developing the ability to evaluate and improve the quality of practice.

Successful completion demonstrates readiness to lead specialist practice development and contribute effectively to education in healthcare environments.

Practitioners in all health professional disciplines need to understand the principles of research, to know how knowledge is created and can be evaluated, and to apply the findings of research in the practice setting. You'll identify and critically evaluate research that informs important aspects of your practice. 

This module will provide you with the theoretical underpinning knowledge that is required to begin to interpret ECGs in clinical practice. The module is taught by academic staff and current practicing clinicians who are experts in their field. You will learn how systematically interpret and relate a variety of ECGs to acute disease pathologies and a variety of long term cardiac conditions.

This module will provide you with the theoretical underpinning knowledge that is required to begin to interpret chest radiographs in clinical practice. The module is taught by academic staff and current practicing clinicians who are experts in their field. You will learn how to identify anatomical landmarks, systematically interpret and relate a variety chronic and acute disease pathologies to a variety of high definition chest radiographs.
