The Emergency, Pre-hospital and Immediate Care intercalated BSc route will provide you with a solid grounding in acute care, preparing you for a future career in an acute speciality. Face-to-face learning occurs at our Heath Park campus.
Clinical placements are based in busy emergency departments in South-East Wales and are punctuated with weekly pre-hospital exposure with the Welsh Ambulance Service (either in an ambulance or on a rapid response vehicle).
Our structured curriculum enables you to develop the knowledge and clinical skills you need to undertake the difficult challenges of rapid diagnosis and treatment of emergency conditions.
This route’s modules include:
