Minor Illness
This
three part programme empowers nurses to manage most patients who
request urgent appointments in primary care. From a solid background
in basic science and evidence-based practice, it presents the
essential examination techniques and clinical skills now expected of
nurses in primary care.
The
programme’s flexible structure allows it to be used in a variety
of settings, both in areas with strong central support and where
local resources are limited. The programme has been extensively
evaluated by a ‘beacon’ practice, with the full support of the
Department of Health.
The open learning format provides a route for nurses to expand their
skill base and inform their practice. The material supplies up-to-date,
research-based protocols which, when used in conjunction with supervised
consultations in a local setting, ensure that the nurse’s management of minor
illness is safe and effective.
The
workbooks are spiral bound, and the course includes a CD-ROM
illustrating over 40 commonly presented conditions to aid diagnosis.
The bestselling book The
Minor Illness Manual accompanies
the programme and is included in the full three-part set. The
authors also offer six months free access to their website,
providing email alerts, updated and additional information and a
forum.
