Stand-Alone Degree Level 3 Foundation Modules

Overall Aim of the Modules

The overall aim of each of these 3 stand-alone distance-learning modules is to promote the understanding of the management of patients with leg ulceration, pressure ulceration and diabetic foot ulceration by exploring current evidence and practice. In addition these modules seek to advance the students existing awareness to enable them to extend their knowledge and develop strategies to improve the patients’ outcome and quality of care.

Module Information

These modules are offered as stand-alone modules and would not be considered as replacement for the core or any other modules within the Postgraduate Diploma/MSc scheme. They are designed to introduce in a non-threatening way, the non-graduate student to degree-level study. Students who undertook these would therefore be considered as suitable applicants for the Postgraduate programme as it would demonstrate evidence of recent academic study.

Each module will run for a 16 week period and will not overlap, this will allow the student to potentially complete 3 modules in one year. Each module will have 1 initial study day in cardiff. Attendance at the initial study day is compulsory, therefore students unable to attend will be invited to attend the next time the module is due to commence. Each module must be completed in the 16 week period.

Primarily targeted for nurses, they have a greater emphasis on clinical application and will provide students with an introduction to some of the module content which will be covered in greater depth and assessed at Masters level in the Postgraduate Diploma/MSc in Wound Healing and Tissue Repair.
