Nursing
Critical Care Nursing: Principles and the ICU Environment
What makes critical care nursing distinct โ continuous, one-to-one or near-one-to-one monitoring of patients whose physiology can change minute by minute. Covers haemodynamic monitoring, mechanical ventilation nursing care, sedation, nutrition, infection control, and supporting families through one of the most frightening environments in healthcare.
Nursing
Nursing Care of the Critically Ill Patient
Applying the ICU principles from the previous course to the actual nursing care of critically ill patients โ shock, respiratory failure, multi-organ dysfunction, major trauma recovery, and the often-overlooked complications of critical illness itself: pressure injury, ICU-acquired weakness, and the need to recognise when treatment goals must shift toward comfort.
Midwifery
Reproductive Anatomy, Physiology, and the Physiology of Pregnancy
The foundational science of midwifery โ the female reproductive system, the menstrual cycle, fertilisation and early development, and the remarkable physiological changes pregnancy produces across nearly every body system. Everything else in this programme builds on understanding these changes as normal, not pathological.
Midwifery
Antenatal Care and Midwifery Assessment
The midwife's distinctive antenatal role โ booking and ongoing assessment, monitoring fetal growth and wellbeing, screening and health promotion, and recognising the early signs of complications that warrant referral. Builds directly on the pregnancy physiology from the previous course.
Midwifery
Normal Labour and Childbirth
The hallmark midwifery course โ recognising the onset of labour, understanding its mechanism and stages, supporting a woman through it, and conducting a normal birth. This is midwifery's most distinctive clinical skill: attending a physiological process the body is designed to carry out, supporting it skilfully rather than routinely intervening in it.
Midwifery
Obstetric Emergencies and Complications of Pregnancy and Birth
Building directly on normal pregnancy and labour, this course covers what happens when the normal course is disrupted โ hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, postpartum haemorrhage, obstructed and prolonged labour, and other significant complications. Recognition and urgent escalation within scope, not independent definitive management, is this course's consistent focus.
Midwifery
Postnatal and Newborn Midwifery Care
The midwife's role doesn't end at birth โ detailed maternal postnatal assessment, comprehensive newborn examination, supporting infant feeding, and recognising postnatal complications in both mother and baby. The deeper, midwifery-specific companion to the overview covered in the public health nursing curriculum.
Nursing
Ophthalmic Nursing Care
The nursing-specific care role around the eye โ assisting with examinations, administering ophthalmic medication safely, applying dressings, infection control, patient education, and supporting patients living with vision loss. Distinct from diagnosing eye disease or correcting refraction; this is about the sustained nursing care surrounding both.
Nursing
Perioperative and Community Ophthalmic Nursing
Nursing care across eye surgery and beyond the clinic walls โ pre- and post-operative cataract surgery nursing, ongoing care for glaucoma and ocular trauma, and the nursing role in community eye health screening, paediatric eye care, and continuity of care.
Nursing
Community Mental Health Nursing and Recovery
Mental health nursing beyond the inpatient unit โ the recovery model, community-based nursing practice, psychosocial rehabilitation, relapse prevention, and reducing stigma. Where the previous course focused on sustained inpatient care, this one focuses on sustained recovery in the community a patient returns to.
Nursing
Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing Care
Where mental health assessment becomes sustained nursing care โ the therapeutic milieu, care planning, safety and observation on a psychiatric unit, supporting medication adherence, and the nurse-patient relationship maintained over days, weeks, and months, not a single assessment encounter.
Nursing
Principles and Practice of Public Health Nursing
Where general nursing care meets population health โ the public health nurse's distinctive role caring for families, schools, workplaces, and whole communities, not just individual patients in a bed. Builds directly on the public health principles and nursing fundamentals already in this programme.
