Module Overview / Introduction

This module will enable learners to further develop their advanced burn care skills and enhance their theoretical knowledge, which underpins practice (CC3N, Jan 2019). The credits obtained at Level 7, can be used toward the MSc Advanced Professional Practice Programme. The module will be hosted and delivered online by the Southeast England Burns Network with UEA quality and assessment oversight.

The module is designed to cover the patient journey commencing with the underlying pathophysiology of burn injury, followed by themed study days relating to - prehospital burn care and initial assessment, early burn care and surgical management, reducing the burden of injury, holistic and global perspective of burn care and complex burn injuries and skin loss. This Module consists of 6 taught days using a variety of different teaching methods, including lectures, workshops and demonstrations, exploration of case scenarios, presentations, specialist unit visits, for example, Queen Victoria Hospital, St Andrews, Chelsea and Westminster, Stoke Mandeville. participants are also required to undertake work-based learning for the duration of the module.

The Module content is aligned to the British Burns Association Burn Care Standards (BBA, 2018) and will embed clinical knowledge to achieve CC3N Advanced Burn Care Competencies (CC3N, 2019) on completion of the module.

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules and regular (five-yearly) review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff or sabbatical leave. In some cases optional modules can have limited places available and so you may be asked to make additional module choices in the event you do not gain a place on your first choice. Where this is the case, the University will endeavour to inform students.
