This short course will enhance your knowledge and equip you with the clinical skills required to manage patients with common respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Tailored to those already qualified as secondary care nursing staff, this course will allow you to gain detailed insight into the patient pathway. You'll explore the patient journey from initial diagnosis, acute episodes of illness, ongoing chronic disease management, through to end of life care.
The course content will be taught by a team of knowledgeable and experienced staff via online distance learning, allowing you the flexibility to study around your work and other personal commitments.
Teaching will be delivered via monthly online sessions over the course of the programme, ending with an Objectively Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) on campus and a critically reflective essay.
