MSc PGDip PGCert Rural Medicine/Urgent Care

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    1 year full or part-time

Course Description

Whether you practise medicine in a rural setting or have remote access to additional or secondary medical services in an urban setting, this programme will give GPs and other healthcare professionals the confidence and skills to deal with urgent and pre-hospital care which are paramount.

People who train with us need to be able to deal with whatever they encounter. From the better known primary care conditions, through to life-saving interventions in hostile environments, every step should enhance the care and the outcome. Most importantly they need to understand that we need to enhance care in the remote setting not delay it. It is all very good being able to diagnose sepsis in the community but unless you can treat it, all you’ve done is delay the care and increase the mortality.

Entry Requirements

Students will normally have a British honours degree (2:2 class or above) or equivalent, in a relevant subject from an approved institution of higher education.
