Aims
The aim of this module is provide the student with the knowledge, technical and critical appraisal skills required to work as an effective clinical physiologist. The module will focus on the practical skills required for the assessment of patients with non-communicable diseases at rest and during exercise.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically evaluate the effects of exercise on physiological responses and pathophysiological processes in a variety of non-communicable diseases.
2.
Screen, assess and stratify patients with non-communicable diseases according to their risk of performing exercise including contraindications
3.
Interpret clinical exercise physiological assessments in health and disease
4.
Explain and assess the skills involved in emergency procedures and management.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Resting and exercise cardiovascular assessments (e.g. blood pressure, 12-lead ECG).
Respiratory assessments at rest and exercise (e.g. Peak flow, CPEX).
Measurements of metabolic health.
Novel measurements of human physiology (e.g. 3D echocardiography, vascular ultrasound).
Module Overview:
The aim of this module is to provide the knowledge, technical and critical appraisal skills required to work as an effective clinical physiologist. The module focuses on the practical skills required for the assessment of patients with non-communicable diseases at rest and during exercise. Techniques include 12-lead ECG, resting and exercise blood pressure, CPEX, respiratory function tests and an introduction to novel cardiac and vascular ultrasound measurements.

Additional Information:Technical Training for Exercise Physiology offers the student the opportunity to develop the skills required to become a competent and effective clinical physiologist. Theory and practical workshops using internal and external specialists will offer extensive practical exposure to a broad range of skills.
