This course will enhance your professional skill set in remote consultation, clinical assessment, and decision-making, helping you respond to the growing demand for healthcare professionals who can deliver care safely and effectively at a distance.

The skills and knowledge gained are relevant across a wide range of healthcare settings, including primary care, urgent and emergency care, community and out-of-hours services, and telehealth or digital health roles.

By completing this course, you will be well-positioned to:

• Take on or expand roles that involve virtual, telephone, or video-based patient consultations
• Strengthen your portfolio for advanced or specialist practice positions
• Contribute to service transformation and digital health initiatives within your organisation
• Enhance your professional profile with evidence-based, postgraduate-level study

This Certificate of Credit also provides a stepping stone to further postgraduate study.

The Applied clinical decision-making module is part of the Postgraduate Certificate in Advancing Integrated Urgent Care Practice and academic counselling can be provided if you wish to explore continuing your studies onto that programme.

This separate Certificate of Credit can be used as part of your continuing professional development.
