Overview

Clinical observation skills are essential for healthcare professionals to provide optimal care to their patients. With this course, individuals can enhance their clinical observation skills and improve their patient care. Clinical observation skills involve observing and assessing a patient's condition, clinical management, technical clinical methods, and medication and dispensary management. By gaining these skills, healthcare professionals can ensure patient safety, improve treatment plans, and prevent medical errors.

For example, a nurse observing a patient's vital signs and noticing a significant change can alert the doctor and prevent a medical emergency. Similarly, a pharmacist observing a medication's side effects and interactions can provide alternative options and prevent harm to the patient. Clinical observation skills are crucial in the healthcare industry, and this course provides an opportunity for individuals to improve their skills and enhance their patient care.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
