Learning Beyond Registration

Learning Beyond Registration (LBR) is a vital part of developing competent, capable health service practitioners prepared to deliver a dynamic, flexible, quality, client-focused service. If you're employed by the NHS in the East Midlands then you may be eligible for fee-free access to our LBR modules and/or programmes. You'll need to supply evidence of approval from your line manager and Trust Education Lead when you apply.

About this module

The aim of this module is to develop knowledge and understanding of the assessment, diagnosis and management of people presenting with minor injuries. This will provide healthcare professionals with a solid theoretical foundation to inform future practice. 

Whilst the module does include examination techniques it is not possible to assess the application of this knowledge within the students own clinical setting. As with all aspects of clinical practice, this would need to be agreed with the student's employer, in line with regulatory body guidance and other national and local guidelines.

Learning outcomes


  1. Critically apply the relevant anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology to the care of patients with minor injury.

  2. Formulate a diagnosis, treatment and appropriate referral plan for patients presenting with minor injury.
