University Advanced Diploma - Unscheduled Care: Practice Development
UAD Unscheduled Care: Practice Development is bespoke for Military Nurses working within Primary Care settings throughout the Armed forces. It aims to enhance and expand their clinical assessment skills, such as history taking and performing physical examinations. Supplementing this, the programme will strengthen the skills needed to make clinical judgements and decisions within healthcare delivery.
Our 60-credit flexible, modular framework provides a coherent programme of study which recognises and values prior experience and learning.

You will enhance and expand your current health assessment and clinical decision making skills, in order to meet the increasing demands of the Primary healthcare services you provide.
You will need to identify a facilitator in practice for HPCD6050 Consultation and Physical Examination Health Assessment Skills.
Your facilitator or facilitators should be a healthcare professional such as a Dr, ACP, SP or Clinical specialist who is competent in the physical examinations and practices them regularly and can commit to regular support to develop your skills. Your facilitator will need to supervise the attainment of consultation and physical examination skills and sign off the competencies for four of the six body systems ((cardiovascular, respiratory, abdominal, MSK to include back and hip, shoulder and knee, ENT and Neuro to include cranial nerves, gross motor and sensory).
You will need to log 40 hours of practice in developing these competencies, with a minimum of 50% of these spent with your facilitator.
