MSc Geriatric Medicine

Geriatric medicine is an expanding, acute speciality. With increasing numbers of elderly people, the need for specialist training will continue.

This comprehensive course is offered in collaboration with the North Western Postgraduate Medical Deanery and will ensure that the theory underpinning knowledge is delivered alongside and applied to the clinical situation. It meets the needs of clients and physicians and ensures that a quality service is delivered effectively and efficiently. It is a modular course delivered off-site on a part-time, day release basis.

You will:

• Gain an in-depth understanding of the theoretical background underpinning your specialty

• Comply with the core curriculum of the Royal college of Physicians for Geriatric Medicine

Previous study and experience

Applications will also be considered from non-medical health care staff e.g. nurses, therapists and social care staff who have already achieved a higher postgraduate qualification in their speciality and are working in a relevant clinical environment.
