Location of University of Brighton
The Institute of Postgraduate Medicine is undergoing organisational changes, including redeveloping some of our courses. Consequently a number of our courses, including this one, are not accepting applications for 2011.
Our intention is that the redeveloped courses will begin in September 2012. Please check back in early 2012 for new course information and entry requirements.
This unique course meets the professional development needs of a wide range of practitioners working in cardiology. Participants advance their theoretical knowledge of clinical cardiology by examining current evidence for diagnosis and treatment, and learn to apply this towards good practice. They also gain a wider understanding of the differing roles of professionals involved in cardiac care.
Students choosing the education or management routes take the mandatory modules plus one of the postgraduate certificates offered by the Faculty of Health or three approved Faculty of Health management modules.
Career and progression opportunities
A high proportion of students receive promotion in their field both during the course and after graduation. Many nurses have become nurse consultants and other students have gone on to take specialist posts in practice and higher education.

Course structure
The course is designed for both part- and full-time study. Students will normally be expected to be working in a setting where cardiology is a significant part of day-to-day activity. Each module is taught over five consecutive days. Teaching staff are nationally and internationally renowned experts in cardiology and provide a broad range of learning experiences through lectures, group work and discussion. Throughout the course, exposure to relevant clinical activity integrates acquired knowledge into the reality of clinical practice.
Modules may be taken as individual units of study for continuing professional development without having to commit to a higher award.
