Delivered by Great Ormond Street Hospital Learning Academy, this 15-credit module aims to develop practitioners underpinning knowledge in key areas of paediatric anatomy and physiology, specific medical conditions seen in children and young people and the evidence-based treatments and interventions used in practice. The module seeks to enable learners to critically analyse the impact of illness upon the child and family and practice their newly learned knowledge and skills within a simulated learning environment and clinical practice. We welcome practitioners who may not have a paediatric background or who wish to gain credits in paediatric healthcare practice.
This module can be taken as part of a Masters, Postgraduate Diploma, Postgraduate Certificate or Graduate Certificate in Paediatrics and Child Healthcare Practice. Visit our MSc Paediatrics & Child Healthcare Practice page for more details.
Active learning will allow students to learn via collaboration, cooperation, and peer-based learning. Activities may include interactive lectures, clinical skills demonstration and supervised practice, small group activities, case-based discussions, workshops, practice simulations and tutorials.
Synchronous and asynchronous learning and teaching activities are delivered via a combination of study days and digital strategies at local sites or online using the Virtual Learning Environment.
Clinical skills development and simulation are delivered in fully equipped, state of the art skills labs using a range of low and high-fidelity learning modalities.
Formative assessment will take the form of a reflective logbook.
For the summative assessment, learners will complete an objective structured clinical examination (OSCA) based on a common childhood scenario.
This module may include a mixture of online and face to face teaching days.
