Overview

Critical care is a highly rewarding field of medical care to specialise in, offering the ability to significantly improve the quality of patient care and ultimately save lives.

We offer a multidisciplinary approach, enabling students to apply their knowledge immediately in real-life situations alongside their day jobs.

Demonstrate a systematic knowledge of critical care, skills in critical appraisal and application of knowledge for direct patient benefit/service development and future study.
Apply life-long learning and advanced problem-solving skills to practice in critical care.

Since our courses are conducted entirely online, they are accessible to both UK and international registered healthcare professionals.
Applicants will typically hold a first degree or equivalent (including international qualifications) in a relevant professional healthcare field, such as a medical or nursing degree.
Registered healthcare professionals without these recognised qualifications will be considered on an individual basis and a wide range of prior experience may be taken into account. In some cases, applicants may be asked to submit a piece of work for assessment in order to confirm that they are able to work comfortably at postgraduate level, and demonstrate the requisite clinical and professional knowledge.
