Course Information

This Advancing Practice in Clinical Assessment, Reasoning and Differential Diagnosis module, available at either level 3 (UZWK9N-40-3) or Masters level (UZWK9M-40-M), has been developed to prepare practitioners with a professional registration in healthcare for a clinical role as an advancing autonomous practitioner working within a range of settings such as pre-hospital; community; primary; urgent; or emergency care.

This module will prepare you to take a focused history; examine patients using a systems based approach; request appropriate diagnostic tests; interpret these; make a differential diagnosis and construct an evidenced based management plan for a range of patients and service users presenting with an undifferentiated range of symptoms. This will require demonstration of a higher degree of complex decision-making skills, expertise and knowledge in managing risk and diagnostics effectively and safely in the clinical context and environment within which you work.

On successful completion of this level 3 (UZWK9N-40-3) or Masters level (UZWK9M-40-M) module, you will be able to:

  • Safely assess and evaluate a range of patients using appropriate clinical examination and history taking skills through a wide range of practice-based competencies, underpinned by a critical analysis of the evidence.
  • Make a differential diagnosis based on a high level of knowledge of anatomy and pathophysiology related to an undifferentiated presentation. (Components A and B)
  • Make a differential diagnosis, exercise critical clinical judgement and formulate a safe and evidenced based treatment and management plan based on the available evidence of the physical examination.
  • Critically appraise the main decision making theories that contribute to safe clinical judgement and allows the practitioner to support their practice.
  • Critically analyse and synthesise the issues that underpin managing risk and uncertainty, safely within this role.
  • Document and maintain contemporaneous records of clinical findings in line with governance frameworks.
  • Employ person centred communication skills, sensitively and effectively with patients across all age ranges, and their families, paying attention to diversity.
