Our Emergency and Resuscitation Medicine programmes will give you an in-depth, clinically relevant understanding of shock and resuscitation, covering pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment in and pre-hospital.
They are clinically as opposed to academically based, offering a deep theoretical understanding of the pathophysiology of shock and the various disease processes that are causal. You will study a wide range of fascinating topics such as diagnosis, pathophysiology, resuscitation and toxicology, while fine-tuning your existing knowledge on research methodology, legislation and ethics. We endeavour to teach you about the current standards of care but enrich this with lectures and discussion on emerging and cutting-edge treatments.
It is open to health care professionals who see their current or future roles focussed around the resuscitation of critically unwell patients in the emergency department, hospital and prehospital arenas. This includes practising doctors, nurses, paramedics and physician associates, both in the UK and abroad. We understand your desire to update your knowledge of emergency and resuscitation medicine while balancing this with your other commitments. Therefore, you will be able to study part-time, online from anywhere in the world, and apply your knowledge directly to your practice.
The course has an excellent reputation in emergency medicine, trauma surgery and critical care, and continuously evolves through feedback from students. It has been developed and is taught by practising professionals and international world-leading industry experts, recognised for their cutting-edge research. Our faculty are subject experts with educational, clinical and research backgrounds, and you will benefit from our high staff to student ratio. Queen Mary University of London is also part of the prestigious Russell Group - a body of leading UK universities dedicated to research and teaching excellence.
In addition to a series of online lectures from academics, you’ll gain invaluable insight from guest speakers and develop communication skills in interactive seminars and lively group discussions. We will teach you how to read and appraise the scientific literature and so encourage you to form your own opinions and a deeper level of understanding of the care you deliver both daily and aspire to give in the future.
If you enrol on the full MSc programme, your third year of study will focus on a dissertation on a topic of your choice, and this can be in the form of a narrative review, systematic review, guideline development, research project, audit, or quality assurance project. You will be supervised by and receive guidance from our hugely experienced supervisory academic team. We understand for many students the dissertation is a daunting task and have therefore developed a highly supportive and developmental programme, with dedicated tutorials, individual supervisors and a highly experienced lead.
The programme also offers applicants access to the taster course, which includes a taster of the first two modules ‘Introduction to academic medicine and critical appraisal’, and ‘The physiology of shock, shock syndromes and tools of resuscitation’.
