We’ll prepare you to assess and manage patients with minor illnesses, while incorporating a symptom-based, patient safety-focused approach.
This course will benefit healthcare professionals involved in the assessment and management of patients with minor illnesses, including doctors, nurses and community pharmacists.
Paramedic staff are welcome to apply but should note that this module is primarily focused on nursing practice.
The Faculty of Health, Education, Medicine and Social Care is the largest in ARU, with over 7,000 students. Our Faculty is teeming with expertise and primed to meet the demand for creating health professionals, teachers, doctors, scientists and educators for the three districts we serve: Chelmsford, Cambridge and Peterborough.
We have been training undergraduates for professional roles for over 25 years, with a reputation for quality, dedication and ambition balanced with student satisfaction.
We know that to give our students the very best experiential learning, prior to getting into the workplace, simulation is second to none, for safe, realistic, learning environments. We have invested heavily in purpose built simulated wards, science labs and skills space, to support our students through their learning.
Our striking, modern campus sits by the riverside in Chelmsford's University and Innovation Quarter.
Our campus is close to the centre of Cambridge, often described as the perfect student city.
You’ll complete a reflective practice form for each session, along with a log book of the skills you’ve performed and the conditions you’ve encountered. You’ll complete the assessment by undertaking two 20-minute Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) involving simulated consultations with patients who have minor illnesses.
