This module provides the opportunity to enhance your advanced knowledge and understanding of pathophysiology applied to acute or chronic illness, along with the examination of current evidence and developments in this field of care. Emphasis throughout the module will be placed on a person-centred holistic approach to assessment with development of management plans from which to provide optimum care. You will study the principles required to carry out advanced consultation to achieve effective assessment, diagnosis and management of patients with undifferentiated and undiagnosed conditions, in addition to pre-diagnosed conditions, related to your area of practice.
You will explore how to generate differential diagnoses in addition to making informed collaborative decisions about the management of your patient’s presentation drawing on your knowledge, understanding and competence in the use of clinical, laboratory and radiological investigations. You will examine the complexities of providing person-centred, holistic care in the context of your area of practice, recognising and managing the deteriorating patient, including issues related to palliative and end of life care. To develop and demonstrate your competence, you will be working in a critical care setting and your progress in meeting national core and area-specific capabilities will be assessed whilst working under the supervision of an appropriately qualified Clinical Educator.
