Who is this for?
The modules have been designed for doctors, nurses and allied health professionals working at a senior level and caring for people with a learning disability within their role. The training will add to their skillset and address a number of cross-cutting themes that will enable practitioners to provide high quality, person-centred care for adults with a learning disability.
Successful completion of the modules aims to enable learners to champion good care and provide clinical leadership in their workplace setting(s); for example, enabling practitioners to work in a ‘Learning Disability Physician/Practitioner Role.’
There are fully funded places available for two modules and completion of these will lead to a full Postgraduate Certificate. The second module is being developed and will be delivered in 2023.
Funded places will be allocated on a first come first served basis and to aid in ensuring a geographical spread of learners. We will review each application and confirm whether an applicant has been successful in gaining a funded place as soon as possible and a minimum of two weeks before the course starts. Please note, the Edge Hill application form includes a section on fee payment arrangements. As funded places will be confirmed following application, you should leave the funding code field blank.
The closing date is 15 January 2023. Apply here.
There will also be self funded places available if there is space in this first cohort. We are happy to register interest on a waiting list through the Edge Hill Universities application page here.
