NHPPS2024 Cardiovascular and Respiratory Focused Physiotherapy
The unit provides physiotherapy students with an introduction to acute care issues as they relate to physiotherapy practice. Students apply their knowledge of body systems, particularly the cardiopulmonary system, gained in the Anatomy and Physiology units, to the analysis of clinical cases commonly seen across the lifespan in the acute health care setting. Students acquire assessment and intervention skills and further develop clinical reasoning abilities. This unit contains 10 hours of Professional Experience Placement
