Overview
This module enables registered health care professionals to develop enhanced knowledge and skills of paediatric consultation and structured clinical assessment of infants, children and young people from 0-19 years. A holistic approach to assessment will consider developmental stages, communication, anatomical and physiological differences, safeguarding, law and ethical principles that are unique to the paediatric population. Learning will be structured utilising an inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation (IPPPA) approach of key body systems with frequent opportunity to practice and receive feedback on skills development using high fidelity paediatric manikins and equipment within a contemporary skills and simulation centre. An introduction to commonly presenting conditions, unique to children, and the associated pathophysiology and management will support practitioners in applying enhanced clinical assessment skills to autonomous decision making and/or escalation and referral. This module is suitable for trainee clinical paediatric advanced practitioner roles but will also be accessible as a stand-alone module for those clinicians who would like to develop enhanced clinical assessment skills with children, such as auscultation, for their own practice. Learners must have clinical opportunities to assess infants, children and young people in their own practice settings. 13/05/26, 10/06/26, 24/06/26, 08/07/26, 22/07/26 (subject to change)
