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.

 

It is only available for students who meet the pre-requisites below and who have been successful in the course selection process.

 

This module builds on the students’ knowledge of physiology, advanced assessment and clinical decision making by further developing the student’s ability to use clinical reasoning and diagnostics in relation to a wide variety of health problems experienced by adult patients.  Managing clinical uncertainty will form a key theme for the module as students begin to experience the impact of the realities of autonomous practice at a more advanced level.

 

Knowledge and understanding of pathophysiology will form a key part of the module. This will underpin and inform symptom analysis, safe and effective evidence-based decision-making, investigation requests and interpretation, and achievement of a working diagnosis.
