Aimed at healthcare professionals working in both generalist and specialist roles, this advanced professional development course is designed to develop your understanding of pathophysiology and its importance in the clinical context. Our expert team will focus on integrating basic science with clinical practice, helping you develop a broad base of knowledge that will support your clinical decision making. We’ll guide you as you develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the mechanisms and aetiological factors that underpin the development of disease in human adults. Starting with key processes that have the ability to affect all organ systems, such as infection, immune responses, and tissue growth disorders, we’ll explore how these core disease processes can affect individual organ systems, as well as create multisystem and systemic disorders. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn about non-organ specific pathophysiology, such as sepsis and ageing. We’ll support you to use your pathophysiological knowledge to solve complex inter-related patient problems, including the impacts of co-morbidity. The ultimate aim of this course is to help you make more informed decisions when assessing and managing patients in order to improve patient outcomes.
