Study a Level 7 course specifically designed for healthcare professionals working with patients who have needs related to skin integrity and wound care. Build your knowledge and skills in anatomy and pathophysiology. Explore theoretical and contemporary issues in wound care.
This Level 7 short course has been designed for healthcare professionals working with patients who have needs related to skin integrity and wound care. The course builds knowledge and skills in anatomy and pathophysiology and aligns them with enhanced clinical assessment and management skills, including the exploration of theoretical and contemporary issues in wound care. Patient, Carer and Public Involvement participants (PCPIs) are involved in both modules to provide patient perspectives and support learning.
You can study the full Postgraduate Certificate in Tissue Viability or study module one, Evidence-Based Practice in Wound Care Assessment and Treatment, or module two, Evidence-Based Practice in the Holistic Management of Chronic Wounds, separately.
This course consists of two 30-credit modules. Each module will include five taught days and a range of online teaching and learning activities that link with independent work-based development and learning.
Each module will be delivered using a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning. The Virtual Learning Environment will be used to support learning activities which will take place online, in the classroom (as regulations allow), and in the workplace. All clinical teaching will be undertaken by tissue viability specialists with support from the academic team and PCPIs.
Formative assessment will be part of each module with assessment and feedback literacy workshops, formative presentation of case studies, peer and/or self-assessment of assignment plans, and viva.
