Introduction
This module is designed to develop essential knowledge and skills required to assess, manage and provide appropriate treatment for children and young people and their parents/carers in the primary and acute sector. The acquisition of essential knowledge and the associated skills will contribute to the development of your practice in relation to recognition, potential diagnostic management, decision making and effective referral skills when working within a bio-psycho-social framework.
Who the course is aimed at
The course is predominantly aimed at Advanced Practitioners, Urgent Care Practitioners, Out of Hours Practitioners, Paramedics, Practice Nurses, GP's, GP trainees and Pharmacists, who are likely to have exposure to caring for children and young people within their role.
Benefits of taking the course to the individual, the organisation and the patient.
The module is designed to provide participants with the confidence to safely manage those children and young people who present to primary care and the acute sector. This module will contribute to gaining the confidence to recognise what is normal, what is not normal but safe to manage without referral and what is abnormal and must be referred. This will hopefully decrease inappropriate referrals to secondary care and ensure that those referrals which are made, are to the appropriate service.
