Clinical Leadership and Human Factors

Course Content

• Course Details

  ​​This module can be completed as a standalone module to enhance your professional practice or can be completed as part of the BSc (Hons) Enhancing Paramedic Practice top up.

  ​This course is suitable for all registered clinicians who who have completed study at Foundation level or, if a HCPC registered paramedic, those with IHCD qualifications on production of evidence of CPD in the previous 2 years.

  The mode of delivery is predominantly online and is designed to allow for a flexible approach to learning, which learners will be able to fit around their professional and personal lives to cause minimal disruption and ensure that a healthy work-life balance can be maintained.

  ​The module is broken down into weekly themes and within those weekly themes you will find pre-recorded content such as bite sized lectures, discussion boards and case studies, this will roughly equate to 4 hours’ worth of online content.

  These theory elements will be supported by weekly 1-hour tutorials delivered via the collaborate virtual classroom platform and will provide you with an opportunity to ask questions, take part in case/scenario-based discussions, review current evidence and key points from that week’s theme.
