Welcome to your April 2024 update from the Foundation elearning programme.
How good are you at helping patients with long term conditions (chronic disease) after they leave hospital?
From the impact of these conditions on daily living, to the ability to self-care and the management of conditions in the community, this month’s update covers key themes around care and support planning for people being discharged from hospital.
Sessions:
- Impact of short-term and long-term physical problems on daily living
- Assessment of ability to self care after discharge
- Family dynamics affecting discharge
- Management of long term disease in the community
The sessions cover key areas in your curriculum on:
FPC 1: Clinical Assessment
FPC 2: Clinical Prioritisation
FPC 3: Holistic Planning
FPC 4: Communication and Care
FPC 5: Continuity of Care
