Minor Injuries

This module will provide you with a solid theoretical foundation to inform future practice. Areas you will cover include:

Clinical history taking examination and documentation.
Anatomy and physiology relevant to minor injuries.
Musculoskeletal examination.
Assessment of neurological function related to the limbs.
Assessment and management of common minor injury presentations, for example minor wounds, burns, minor head injuries, soft tissue injuries, eye injuries, analgesia relevant to minor injuries.
Whilst this module does include online examination techniques, it is not possible to assess the application of this knowledge within your own clinical setting. If you want to take on an enhanced role caring for patients with minor injuries, this would need to be agreed with your employer, in line with regulatory body guidance and other local and national guidelines.
