Overview

As many critical care units have introduced new roles or extended the scope of practice for nurses, technicians, physiotherapists and clinical pharmacists, this module offers you the opportunity to enhance your existing clinical knowledge and skills as an Advanced Critical Care Practitioner (ACCP). You will explore an engaging mix of

generic module topics and specialist elements to enable you to transfer to individual units within critical care.

Topics you will explore in this module include: full systems anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, investigations, interpretation of investigations, management and treatment of common conditions. This will be achieved through face to face teaching, enquiry based learning, simulation and guided learning alongside an expectation of self directed study for each individual to achieve the necessary assessments.

The module is also aligned with the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice which will enable you to start your ACCP journey, undertaking physical assessment and non-medical prescribing prior to undertaking the ACCP module. This would be undertaken alongside other core modules to achieve a post graduate diploma or furthermore a full postgraduate MSc degree.
