Intermodule project
During the six-month break between the two modules, learners must complete an intermodule project as a mandatory part of the course. This provides an opportunity to test new knowledge and skills, improve local services and directly impact patient outcomes. Delegates are offered mentorship and encouraged to support their peers as they continue to develop their specialism.
Learners have free rein over their project, with examples including service delivery, patient management or drug treatments. Projects may take the form of a service description, an audit or another form of research. Learners will return for Module 2 to present their findings and share their learning. → View previous projects
