Course summary

The care of critically ill patients is a challenging and highly specialised area of health care practice. The polio pandemic in the 1950s led to the birth of the modern Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Another pandemic (Covid-19) has seen the term ‘ICU’ rise to prominence once again as the area in hospital where the most severely ill patients are cared for. Critical Care is a term that is repeated daily in the media. It is the specialty we practice and are passionate about, and the area of health care we are dedicated to teaching at the University of Glasgow.WHY THIS PROGRAMMEThe work and assignments during the course are tailored in order for students to reflect on implementing knowledge and skills in their own unit, country or regionTeaching will be delivered by experts in the fields of Critical Care via a state-of-the-art Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)Teaching sessions will include online interactive tutorials, practical demonstrations and peer discussion forumsStudy, in depth, a wide range of clinical and non-clinical topics pertinent to the practice of Critical Care.CAREER PROSPECTSThis programme is open to doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals and ultimately leads to a Masters degree.The clinical components acquired and attained during this programme make graduates very desirable for prospective employers. The aim is for graduates to be highly effective clinical leaders in their field and place of work.
