This module develops the students' ability to understand the nurse's role in relation to caring for the patient with long term medical conditions and multiple pathologies. There are a vast range of long term medical conditions that affects the population of the UK and service users who live with them can be found across a range of primary, secondary and tertiary health care settings. They require nurses to have a good understanding of pathophysiological changes, diagnostic processes, management interventions and prognosis relating to both individual and multiple pathologies. This module is designed to promote the concept of independent living and includes the study of aging and end of life care.
