This module is designed to support learners who may wish to work within a clinical environment. Students will work collaboratively with their peers to develop their knowledge of a range of acute surgical presentations and the pertinent diagnostic investigations associated with each case. Students will develop their decision making skills to safely manage and refer patients, and consider the post-operative management and management of associated complications.
