Course Summary

Overview

If you're currently a trainee surgical care practitioner, working as part of a surgical team in a hospital and would like to develop your knowledge and skills, our part-time course accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England is for you.

The role of surgical care practitioner (or SCP) is a relatively new one, driven by the needs of hospitals and healthcare providers. SCPs manage the clinical care of patients but also assist with technical and operative interventions - overlapping with some of the care that's traditionally offered by doctors.

Careers

By completing this course you'll achieve an MSc Surgical Care Practice, which leads to the title of Surgical Care Practitioner (SCP). SCPs work in surgical teams in several specialities, including urology, trauma and orthopaedics, cardiothoracic, plastic and reconstructive surgery, neurosurgery, paediatrics, general, vascular, maxillofacial, otorhinolaryngology and gynaecology. You will gain intermediate awards: PG Cert, PG Dip.

Modules

The General Medical Council (2013) Nursing and Midwifery Council (2015) Health & Care Professions Council (2016) require professionals to ensure that their knowledge and skills are up to date and that they regularly take part in activities that maintain and develop competence and performance. This module aims to help students achieve this by forming part of a structured programme to ensure competence and performance around advanced clinical consultation and assessment skills. The module will focus on the presentation of surgical conditions and the complications that may arise as the consequence of surgical complications.
