Certificate - Emergency Care of Women and Children (level 6)
This module aims to enhance knowledge and critical understanding of the normal physiology of paediatric demographics and the woman during pregnancy and labour. Explore the underpinning evidence base of clinical management and assessment skills in emergency situations pertaining to paediatric, maternal, and newborn patients, considering the family care context and multi-disciplinary teams.
