Women's Health (Online)

Overview

Overview

Most women’s health problems present in primary or community care, and yet training in Women’s Health offered at undergraduate level is being constantly reduced to allow other topics to be covered. Many aspects of women’s health are now considered specialist and no longer covered in undergraduate degrees, making confident and evidence based management in primary care difficult without additional training.

The online MSc in Women's Health course aims to:

• Equip the individual with a systematic understanding of skills in critical appraisal and application of knowledge for direct patient benefit/service development and future study.
• Equip students with life-long learning and advanced problem-solving skills that they can apply to clinical practice in Women’s Health.
• Enable graduates to demonstrate the ability to lead complex tasks and processes in the delivery and advancement of Women’s Healthcare.
• Enable graduates to build leadership skills within multi-agency, multi-cultural and/or international contexts.
• Enable graduates to critically evaluate the delivery of care to patients.
• Equip students with a systematic understanding of evidence-based medicine in relation to Women’s Health.
• Extend student knowledge of research methods and application to practice.
• Extend the scope of women’s healthcare practice by exploring a professional subject area in more depth utilising knowledge gained in the previous modules.

Upon successful completion of this course, graduates will add value to a CV, enabling them to rise to the challenge of delivering high quality care to their patients within a complex primary and secondary care environment.
