This programme explores the issues and impact of living with long term conditions and optimising management with the use of self care strategies.

Topics covered include:-
* Patho-physiological processes associated with long term conditions
* The biological, psychological and social impact of long term conditions
* National guidelines and initiatives on long term conditions
* Indications and contraindications for therapeutic techniques in selected long term conditions
* Application of evidence and scientific principles to justify the use of interventions
* Strategies for supporting patient self care
* Practical application of selected therapeutic approaches
At UEL
The programme is interdisciplinary and students work together exploring the contribution each discipline makes to patient care. Through this approach students will develop a better understanding of other disciplines and develop approaches to working together to provide a patient led service.

The programme forms part of our Post Graduate Framework for Health Professions which offers a wide range of accredited short courses and modules focused around patient centred care and evidence based practice.

Part time students may take one to three years - undertaking modules at a pace to suit their busy lives.

The modules are studied through a variety of activities including keynote lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical sessions, workshops, and web-based learning. Self direction is encouraged from the beginning and develops throughout the modules.
The modules use:-

* Case studies which encourage the students to review and evaluate their own practice;
* Practical and laboratory sessions which develop new skills for management and evaluation of practice.

Students are asked to show originality in the application of knowledge and understanding of how the boundaries of knowledge are advanced through practice.
