History Taking and Physical Assessment

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    6 months full-time

Course Description

In response to demand from NHS and Health Education England, this course equips registered healthcare professionals with the skills to accurately obtain a clinical history during consultations. It prepares you to gather and interpret relevant physical examination findings, inform potential differential diagnoses, and outline appropriate treatment plans.

Designed to meet the demand from NHS and Health Education England, this course is for healthcare professionals to expand their practice and acquire skills traditionally performed by doctors, such as obtaining a clinical history, performing physical assessments, and formulating differential diagnoses.

This allows registered healthcare professionals who wish to develop competencies beyond their normal scope of practice, to have the opportunity to expand their traditional nursing and allied health professional roles as part of the wider delivery of high-quality, person-centred care.
