The course had been developed in line with BGS, and NICE Guidelines. However it is important for all clinicians to undergo supervised practice in their workplace and only to practise autonomously when they and their employer are satisfied that they are competent to do so.
This course is aimed at practice nurses, ANPs and other registered healthcare professionals.
The ‘Comprehensive Assessment of Older People’ course is designed for nurses and healthcare professionals. It equips them with the essential skills and knowledge needed for effective assessment and care of older individuals. The core modules cover a wide range of topics, ensuring a holistic understanding of the ageing process, chronic diseases, and the importance of person-centred care. This course emphasises practical skills through scenarios, case studies, and interactive discussions.
Participants will develop their skills in conducting comprehensive assessments, understand the importance of tailored care plans, and the need to communicate effectively with older individuals and their families. The integration of ethical considerations and end-of-life care issues ensures a well-rounded understanding of the complexities of caring for the older population.
