Assessment and Management of Common Conditions

Overview

Overview

This module aims to enable clinicians registered with a relevant national body (NMC, HCPC, GPhC) to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for safe and evidence based practice in the assessment of and management of common conditions. In doing this, students will also learn to develop skills in recognizing when, due to the vulnerability of the patient and/or the nature of the illness or condition, the situation is outside the scope of practice of the clinician and requires emergency/urgent or soon referral to another practitioner. 

This module will allow nurses and other professionals to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to engage in patient consultation, undertake physical examination and plan and manage care for patients suffering from common conditions.

It will also explore an approach to the initial assessment of patients presenting with mental health problems.
