Study Details:
Expand your experience of paediatric clinical skills such as thoracic drain removal, renal replacement therapy and critical care transport, while acquiring the underpinning theory. Our PGCert in Paediatric Critical Care, delivered at Alder Hey’s Institute in the Park, will be key to your professional development and progression to senior nursing roles in this vital area, as you continue to practice as you learn.
Key recommendations from NHS England state the importance of children being cared for within Paediatric Critical Care (PCC) by specialists in the care of critically ill children. The PGCert in Paediatric Critical Care will provide you with a solid foundation for all the major elements of contemporary Level 3 PCC, as defined by the Paediatric Critical Care Society.
You’ll receive a detailed understanding of the complex issues underpinning best practice in the delivery of contemporary care within the paediatric intensive care setting. You’ll then build on this, focusing on enhancing the expertise required to move from a position of basic effectiveness within your clinical team to a position of refined functioning within the speciality.
Our blended learning approach will provide flexibility and variety. Face to face and virtual teaching from experienced clinicians, case studies, simulation, and hands-on clinical experience of real life paediatric critical illness scenarios will enhance both your clinical skills and patient safety.
To join this course, you should fulfil the following criteria:
You must provide evidence that your application is supported by your Line Manager and/or Training and Development Lead in terms of funding.
An interview will form part of the application process.
If you do not have an honours degree, but otherwise fulfil the entry criteria above, you may be admitted to the programme if you can demonstrate your ability to succeed at Level 7 study by:
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) requirements
Work-based learning in your place of work is a requirement of the course, therefore you must have a reference from your employer which confirms a declaration of good character and evidence of a current enhanced DBS.
International students require IELTS 6.5, with a score no lower than 6.0 in each individual component, or an equivalent English language qualification.
If your current level of English is half a band, one band, or one-and-a-half bands lower, either overall or in one or two elements, you may want to consider our Pre-Sessional English course.
