The Master of Emergency Medicine Management is a new course which will provide students with an opportunity to develop both their clinical and non-clinical skills in emergency medicine. Many students undertaking this course will be existing medical emergency care workers. Undertaking this course will contribute to their continuing professional development and career progression. For those currently working outside the NHS, particularly those from overseas, this course will provide a valuable insight into the delivery of urgent and emergency care within the National Health Service and will assist such candidates in securing clinical posts within the Hospitals.
The modules have been developed to support clinicians in delivering up-to-date emergency care of the highest quality. The course will appeal to both senior trainees and career grade doctors in emergency medicine as well as experienced staff from other backgrounds.
Structure of the course
The MSc Emergency Medicine is available to students on either a full or part-time basis and consists of two phases of study. To obtain the MSc in Advanced Emergency Care students will complete core modules in addition to a selection of optional modules to a total of 180 credits. The course is organised into modules and students can choose a range of modules to build a course that is relevant and important to them. There are some restrictions on that as some modules link together to form particular exit points. We do have linkages that allow exit with sub-qualifications in nursing, paediatrics EM, emergency management and emergency medicine.
Students can elect to undertake particular named routes through the programme or undertake a generic programme of study by electing 60 credits of study and focusing their Phase 2 studies on any area of emergency medicine relevant to the professional practice. So basically, it’s a modular MSc which you can exit early if need be with either a PgDip or PgCert.
