Module - Care of Minor Illness and Minor Injuries (Level 6)
As a core module across a range of programmes the activities and feedback that you will receive throughout the evidence based practice module are designed to enhance both your clinical and academic skills.
Course Overview
The aim of this module is to develop enhanced knowledge of the principles underlying the care of patients presenting with minor illness or injury.
You will need to complete an induction prior to commencement of your first module. We have a comprehensive online induction package to welcome you to both the University and your programme of study. Alternatively classroom-based induction days take place at our Lancaster and Carlisle campuses and are usually scheduled for the first week of each semester.
On this course you will...
- Apply an in-depth knowledge of the pathophysiology of minor illness/injury to the evidence-based management of the patient
- Critically reflect on the skills of assessment and triage in relation to patients who present with minor illness/injury, acknowledging the bio-psycho-social needs of the patient and their family
- Critically appraise the different needs of specific patient groups, including children, older people and people with a mental health disorder who present with minor illness/injury
- Examine the relevant evidence, clinical guidelines and healthcare policy which relate to therapeutic interventions used to treat patients with minor illness/injury
