Cardiology
Taught
This programme enables practitioners to gain a formally recognised standard of competence in cardiology. It is taught and run by advanced clinicians, allied health professionals and service improvement specialists. It is designed for General Practitioners, Nurse Specialists and other medical professionals working in the specialty clinical environment.
The structure of the programme is specifically designed to encourage the development of the specialist practitioner role, by encouraging collaborative clinical work-based training between the practitioner and the clinical mentor. The emphasis is on critical thinking, reflective learning and the practice of evidence-based medicine. Students are enabled to directly apply their learning to their current and future roles.
This programme is delivered at The Ridge Medical Practice. Once you achieve the Postgraduate Diploma you can progress onto an MSc award by completing a final 60 credit Clinical Management Project at the University of Bradford, giving you an MSc in Cardiology for Practitioners with a Special Interest.
