Cardiovascular and Respiratory Healthcare PgDip

The programme in Cardiovascular and Respiratory Healthcare is designed for people from a wide range of healthcare backgrounds, including:

• Healthcare Scientists
• Nurses
• Physiotherapists
• Advanced Practitioners

The programme will deepen your knowledge and skills in cardiovascular and respiratory healthcare, enabling you to enhance your career in your chosen field. You will have the opportunity to discuss new technologies for the prevention, diagnosis and management of ill-health and their impact on the delivery of person-centred healthcare. Lecturers from a multidisciplinary background will draw on their clinical and research experience at a national and international level to facilitate your learning.

The programme runs successfully through a combination of educational materials and opportunities to interact online alongside more traditional teaching methods. This blended format of delivery consists of teaching sessions (face-to-face or made available online), live webinars, discussion fora, formative and summative assessments administered through our virtual learning environment, and a range of resources to facilitate self-study and progression. This allows for much of the programme to be studied remotely if required.

The programme is flexible and available as a full- or part-time MSc, delivered over one or two years. Graduates go on to pursue a career, in a clinical setting, such as setting up clinical services, or in academia by enrolling on PhD programmes.
