Our PgCerts are ideal if you: - would like to experience level 7 study in a particular area of practice without the commitment to a full Masters award.

  • are looking for specific areas of professional development or training.

PgCert Complexities in Acute Medicine and Surgery is specifically tailored to focus on supporting and developing knowledge and understanding within acute medicine and acute surgical settings, along with recognition and management of the deteriorating patient.
