Course Overview

This module aims to address the core competence base of specialist practitioners and allied healthcare professionals having to care for acute and high dependency patients with, or who are likely to develop, single organ failure or have recognized critical care needs beyond the expectation of ''normal'' ward care.

This will be undertaken through a systems approach to evaluate care needs. The practitioner will have a clear understanding of advanced contemporary treatment protocols within acute and high dependency care.

The focus of the module will be on the role development of acute and high dependency practitioners from a clinical perspective. Therefore, multi-system assessment skills will form a key component. In relation to this, advanced treatment strategies such as non-invasive ventilation and vasoactive support will be explored as will liver failure, hematological disorders, and pain management.
