Location of Cardiff University
An e-learning, interprofessional course. The taught component introduces the student to the multifaceted nature of caring for surgical patients, from admission through to discharge. The modular approach allows students to evaluate care from an evidence-based perspective, starting with admission and preoperative preparation through to postoperative care and discharge. Professional issues, including clinical governance and interprofessional practice, will be covered. Some of the modules are core; others allow student choice. The e-learning assessments are structured to allow students to evaluate the topic in relation to their practice areas of interest and professional base.
Forty places are offered each year and the majority of students are self-funded, though some obtain awards from charities and trusts. The course takes eighteen months for stage one (taught component) and a further six months for the dissertation.
Special Features:
* Unique – presently there are no other distance learning, interprofessional surgical and perioperative care courses at this level.
* Interprofessional approach to enhance group work, discussion sessions and case-based presentations.
* Emphasis on a biopsychosocial approach.
