Description
Acute Medicine for Advanced Clinical Practice will appeal to advanced clinical practitioners working in acute medicine environments to support development of knowledge and skills to map towards key elements of the Advanced Clinical Practice in Acute Medicine Clinical Framework (Health Education England 2022). The module will aim to develop the student’s knowledge of common acute medicine presentations and develop the diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills to facilitate the delivery of a comprehensive management plan to optimise patient safety and outcome. The learning and teaching approaches will be underpinned by detailed consideration of the relevant evidence base research and theory. There will be opportunities for collaborative learning and engagement with clinicians. The module will combine lectures, workshops, seminars, and e-learning based on clinical practice that is designed in a way to enhance application of learning to the clinical environment.
