Summary
This course has been designed to help registered practitioners further their ability to deliver healthcare through the safe and competent care of children of all ages.
It covers topics such as paediatric development, paediatric musculoskeletal examination, paediatric musculoskeletal interventions and paediatric musculoskeletal management, evidence-based practice, plus optional units such as professional development, and leadership and inter-professional collaboration.
You’ll also examine issues such as risk factors and public health, including breastfeeding, supine sleep in infancy, physical activity in children and conditions affecting the musculoskeletal health of children from birth to young adulthood.
Using a blend of live online classes and ready-to-use resources through our virtual learning environment, you’ll learn through a mix of live and recorded lectures, online reading materials and content taught through guided activities with your peers and staff.
Clinical paediatric experience is a key part of the course, either within your existing clinical environment or through observing our clinical educators in the Clinical and Rehabilitation Services team at Health Sciences University on our Bournemouth campus.
Why Study MSc Musculoskeletal Paediatric Health?
Health Sciences University has been the primary provider of postgraduate musculoskeletal paediatric courses in Europe for over 15 years. The postgraduate courses within the HSU School of Chiropractic are developed to be aligned with professional practice, and adopt an approach of integrated learning, teaching, and assessment that is not only developing independent learning, but encouraging students to integrate theory and practice. The approach to learning and teaching within the course emphasizes: the diversity of leaners, autonomy of learning, life-long learning, and a dynamic learning experience.

Units being considered for RPL will be reviewed to ensure they meet the learning needs of the course and specific unit. The learning would generally be expected to be completed within 5 years, to ensure the content is still relevant, however this may be extended on review if the content was deemed appropriate and contemporary. |
