In Year 1, you will study a broad range of clinical scenarios found in the out-of-hospital setting and gain relevant knowledge, clinical skills and behaviours for patient assessment, and appropriate therapeutic interventions. This is supported by an introduction to biomedical sciences and an introduction to the legal aspects within professional practice, alongside preparation for clinical practice in which you will be supported and supervised by a clinical practice educator. In Year 2, you will further develop your underpinning knowledge and clinical skills whilst completing modules addressing major trauma, paediatrics and obstetrics and the unwell adult. These subjects will be enhanced by attending various clinical placements within the NHS to allow you to apply your newly learned knowledge and skills. During your clinical placements, you will be supported and supervised by a clinical practice educator. In Year 3, you will further enhance your clinical skills and decision-making abilities by completing modules that support your transition into an accountable healthcare professional. This will be achieved by completing modules in enhanced clinical practice, leadership and research. Clinical placements augment the final year, which will take place within a variety of clinical based settings. As in the previous years, you will continued to be supported and supervised during clinical practice placements by a clinical practice educator.
