Course summary
The purpose of this module is to develop the academic and clinical requirements for the nurse or other allied health professional working in either an Emergency Department, Minor Injury Unit or other pre-hospital environment. The pathway will enable students to develop graduate, lifelong learning skills such as critical thinking, problem solving and the use of evidence based practice to enhance current professional and academic skills; this in turn will develop transferable skills which will enhance their employability. The pathway has been designed and based on the Royal College of Emergency Care competency document.
Assessment method
The module runs over 2 semesters with 14 taught days (1 day a week). The student must have the support of their Manager and be permitted to practice under supervision in an appropriate area as an Emergency Practitioner. Therefore you must have the agreement of a suitable mentor (e.g. an experienced EP or doctor) before applying. The module will use a variety of assessments such as written examination, OSCEs, competencies and an applied assignment.
