Physiology for Advanced Clinical Practice (Level 7)

For all modules and courses the applications portal will close 4 weeks before the start date. All applications must be submitted and funding confirmed before the portal closes. Any applications that have not been processed and or do not have funding confirmed from the sponsor organisation before the portal closure will not be accepted by the IHSC administrator staff

 

This module recognises that health professionals need in-depth knowledge and understanding of physiological principles if they are to provide safe, effective, contemporary clinical care at a high level. The module therefore uses an integrated concept-based approach to enable students to learn about core physiological principles such as maintenance of homeostasis and the “normal” human response to internal and external variables. 

 

This module aims to develop the student’s knowledge and understanding of physiological principles, thereby providing a foundation on which subsequent learning in areas such as pathophysiology, pharmacology, and prescribing can be developed, to inform and underpin clinical practice at an advanced level.

 

This is a core module within the MSc/PgDip Advanced Clinical Practice (Adult) and MSc Advanced Clinical Practice (Adult) Apprenticeship courses offered by the School of Health and Social Care.
