Course Overview
What You’ll Learn
Each module is built around a high-risk or common acute presentation, helping you assess, investigate, and manage confidently on-call.
Module 01
🫁 Dyspnoea
Pneumonia, PE, asthma, COPD, pneumothorax, and heart failure — learn how to assess breathlessness, order the right investigations, and act fast.
Module 02
❤️ Chest Pain
Differentiate MI from non-ischaemic causes like myocarditis, pericarditis, costochondritis, and oesophageal spasm. Know when to treat, refer, or reassure.
Module 03
🦠 Sepsis
Understand the epidemiology, recognition, risk factors, investigations, and early management, with a structured, evidence-based approach to septic patients.
Module 04
🤕 Headache
Confidently triage red flags and distinguish primary headaches (migraine, tension, cluster, MOH, trigeminal neuralgia) from secondary causes (CVST, GCA, sinusitis).
Module 05
🩸 GI Bleed
Approach both upper and lower GI bleeds systematically: stabilisation, risk scoring, resuscitation, transfusion, and safe referral.
Module 06
🧓 Falls
Falls with or without loss of consciousness; assess causes, manage immediate risks, investigate appropriately, and decide on safe discharge vs admission.
Module 07
⚡️ Electrolytes
Sodium, potassium, and calcium abnormalities, recognise key patterns, investigate reversible causes, and safely correct imbalances.
