Module for Continuing Professional Development

What it's about
This module promotes supervised clinical practice with an identified mentor to promote an individualised learning pathway.
It will also underpin the development of clinical skills and provide guidance towards the achievement of practice outcomes. It is anticipated that the majority of clinical learning will take place in your resident place of work. However students are encouraged to negotiate the opportunity to work in an alternative environment.
What you do
You will develop skills and recognise the ‘at risk’ patient. Clinical skills development is based on the care of patient’s requiring respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, neurological, nutrition and pain assessment.
Where next?
If you are not already enrolled on one of our awards you may consider working towards a Degree or Diploma.
