Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
This course will enable participants to develop their knowledge and skills so that they are able to provide high quality care that is based upon sound clinical judgement and robust evidence 1) The evolution of cardiovascular care and the role of evidence 2) Advanced anatomy and physiology of the heart and circulation 3) Physical assessment of the cardiac patient 4) Haemodynamic assessment and intervention 5) Single and 12 lead ECG interpretation 6) Introduction to biochemistry and haematology 7) Cardiac pharmacology and patient concordance 8) Care of the patient post cardiac intervention 9) Managing patients with Acute and chronic heart failure and the use of device therapy 10) Advanced life support 11) Promoting healthy behaviour change through cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention 12) Supporting patients from BAME backgrounds to navigate the healthcare systems 13) Caring for patients who are nearing the end of life and supporting grieving families. 

This course can be accessed by any health care professionals who wishes to develop their knowledge base relating to patients with cardiac disease. The module will enhance the students clinical practice by building on their previous knowledge and experience and provide them with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide high quality, evidence based care.

This module will run for 15 weeks and will consist of lectures, tutorial tine and online time allocated to learning.  The allocation of hours to each learning module within the programme represent the off-the-job hours for this apprenticeship.  The 'lecture' delivery hours represent the face to face teaching time that the students will be participating in and will consist of required attendance on campus for a face to face learning session or activity which can consist of Lectures, Seminars, Classroom activities, Role play, Workshops and/or Simulation. The allocation of additional 'online' delivery hours enables the learner to be facilitated to undertake a series of activities either through directed online learning, engagement with literature and resources, quizzes and activities such as discussion boards, library and IT sessions and academic skills development, assessment preparation time and development of learning towards the achievement of the KSB's.

An additional 20 hours of 'online' learning has been allocated to this module to support the apprentice learner. 

This module is taught in conjunction with 7002CCMA Cardiac Care - Adult CPD module.
