The module will enable clinicians to gain in-depth knowledge and understanding to undertake effective systematic clinical examinations of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and demonstrate clinical reasoning to direct further patient management. In addition, the module will enable clinicians to reflect on their professional practice and demonstrate an understanding of the limitations of their role. The module will cover history taking; physical examination; common respiratory and cardiovascular conditions (both acute and long-term); formulation of differential diagnoses and critical analysis of clinical decision-making and management of those conditions. It will be delivered using a blended-learning approach including interactive lectures, small group discussions, clinical case discussions, practical sessions including simulation and clinical teaching in with work place. Material will be made available on the Virtual Learning Environment. It is assessed via a 3000 word written assignment (clinical case study incorporating both respiratory and cardiovascular aspects) and a 45 minute practical assessment assessing both subjective and objective examination of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
