Course Overview
This module enables learners to contribute to their development and improvement of specialist clinical knowledge regarding treatment interventions, ongoing management and ethical considerations. The module has been designed specifically to allow each practitioner to define their learning relative to their own area of practice and expertise within children’s cardiac care, for example, the ICU or Outpatients.
This module can be taken as standalone Continuing Professional Development (CPD), or as part of a Master’s of Science (MSc), Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip), Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) or Graduate Certificate (GradCert) in Paediatrics & Child Healthcare Practice. See our MSc Paediatrics & Child Healthcare Practice page for more information about these programmes. If you wish to discuss how this module could fit into one of our programmes, please contact [email protected].

The formative assessment will be the completion of peer presentations.
The summative assessment will require learners to demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes through completing a viva voce regarding paediatric cardiac care.
