What you'll study

This module offers a flexible, blended way to build your knowledge. You’ll develop your skills in advanced assessment and clinical decision-making. You’ll do this using a system-by-system approach to managing a deteriorating patient.

How you'll learn

The course runs online over six months, every Wednesday from 9am to 3pm. You'll also need to come to campus on certain dates.

We use a blended approach to make learning flexible and focused on you. The two on-campus simulation and consolidation days include:

  • Simulation
  • Problem-based learning (PBL)
  • Active seminars
  • Debriefs.

Our Virtual Learning Environment also supports self-directed study.

Assessment includes a critical case review and a 'Grand Round' (case-based presentation). We include ongoing formative assessment, guidance on assessment, and feedback throughout the course.

You'll take part in hands-on learning in the workplace. You also need to complete the CC3N Enhanced Critical Care Outreach Competencies.
