UID:28
DESCRIPTION:Basic Course InformationTotal Credits20\n\nStatusLive\n\nTaught Semester and Assessment Period19-02-2018\n\n20-02-2018\n\n26-02-2018\n\n27-02-2018\n\n05-03-2018\n\n06-03-2018\n\n16-04-2018\n\n17-04-2018\n\nSession AvailabilityTaught every year\n\nPrerequisite(s)Students must be show evidence of advanced practitioner level anatomy\, musculoskeletal assessment\, clinical reasoning and differential diagnosis skills. Evidence will be provide in the form of 2 sealed anonymous references from their employer and /or qualified practitioners.\n\nExpected Number of Students Taking Module24\n\nIs this a Cap?Yes\n\nRestriction for CapNumber of students that can be safely supported during practical sessions by 2 lecturers\n\nTarget StudentsMedical practitioners and nonmedical practitioners who have approval from their appropriate regulatory body and/or employer practising in the field of benign upper limb neuromusculoskeletal disorders or other acceptable related field.\n\nSummary of ContentThis module will examine and evaluate the theoretical principles underpinning contemporary practices in injection therapy. Emphasis will be on pharmacology\, patient selection and the application of injection therapy for patients with upper limb benign musculoskeletal disorders. The conceptual basis of the therapy will be explored and a review of the literature undertaken based on documented research evidence. The practical focus will be on the enhancement and development of psychomotor\, communication and presentation skills.\n\nAssessment DetailsExam 1\nPercentage: 50%\nPractical examination: injection technique\nLength: 1 hour\n\nCoursework 1\nPercentage: 0%\nRequirement: One injection log sheet for minimum of 10 injections\n\nCoursework 2\nPercentage 50%\nRequirement: 3\,000 word case study\n\nModule ConvenorDr C Diver\, Health Sciences\n\nAdministration DetailsSharon Goodwin\nStudent Services Administrator\n\nCity Hospital Student Services\,\nThe University of Nottingham\,\nClinical Sciences Building\,\nCity Hospital\,\nNottingham\,\nNG5 1PB\n\nt: +44 (0) 115 82 31927\ne: sharon.goodwin@nottingham.ac.uk\n\nAimsThe module aims to advance the students’ knowledge of the theoretical bases pertaining to injection therapy in the management of upper limb musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders. It aims to develop the students’ ability to evaluate the evidence upon which established practices are based. It aims to facilitate the anatomical and clinical reasoning skills that underpin injection therapy. It aims to develop students psychomotor skills and the safe practice of injection techniques.\n\nLearning OutcomesThe students should be able to: Discuss the evidence for injection therapy in the management of upper limb MSK disorders\; Explain the pharmacology of drugs commonly used in injection therapy\; State the indications\, contraindications and side effects of injection therapy\; Understand and interpret examination findings of patients presenting with upper limb musculoskeletal disorders\, in the selection of injection therapy as a preferred treatment option\; Clearly define the appropriate aftercare for patients receiving injection therapy\; Intellectual Skills The student should be able to:\n\nDemonstrate advanced clinical reasoning through a synthesis of practical\, theoretical and experiential learning\;Critically evaluate accepted theories and practice surrounding injection therapy\;Reflect on\, and evaluate\, ones own abilities and the impact of the module on clinical practice\;Analyse and interpret research findings in the management of patients\, with upper limb musculoskeletal dysfunction\, with injection therapy\;Professional Practical SkillsThe student should be able to:\n\nAdminister upper limb corticosteroid and local anaesthetic peripheral intraand extraarticular injections safely and effectively\;Perform joint aspiration safely and effectively\;Be able to manage side effects of injection therapy safely and effectively\;Communicate using written\, verbal and nonverbal modes\;Use information technology to identify and access information.Transferable (key) SkillsThe student should be able to:\n\nDemonstrate time management and workload planning\;Use information technology to search for relevant literature\, source information and prepare presentations\;Demonstrate the application of a variety of communication skills e.g. patient interaction\, presentations\, written reports\;Display skills of critical analysis\, problem solving and reflective practice.
