This subject is designed to enhance the clinical knowledge base and decision-making skills of acute care clinical nurses who work in a variety of settings such as emergency departments, intensive care units, haematology/oncology, neurosurgical, cardiac, respiratory or other wards. The in-depth critical analysis of complex and varied patient cases creates a dynamic learning environment for students to explore each case according to their own learning needs and their specialty area of practice. Students do not cover all cases. Cases currently cover acute CAL, ventilation, cardiac dysrythmias, coronary artery disease and heart failure, and carcinoma of the lung and kidney. Assessment tasks are clinically focused.
