Description

Pre-eclampsia

Early detection of pre-eclampsia is crucial, but diagnosis can be challenging: clinical presentation can be variable and the disease often progresses over several weeks before a diagnosis is confirmed.1 Improved understanding of pre-eclampsia has led to the development of new placental growth factor (PlGF)-based tests that can help to identify women at high risk of developing the disease, and to ‘rule out’ in the short-term those who are not.2-5EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

  • Recognise the challenges in diagnosing pre-eclampsia.
  • Understand the role of angiogenic factors in pre-eclampsia
  • Appreciate how PlGF-based tests can aid clinical decision making for women with suspected pre-eclampsia.

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.
