Teaching
This course has been developed and is taught by practising professionals and industry experts. In addition to a series of online lectures from academics, you’ll gain invaluable insight from guest speakers and develop communication skills in interactive seminars and lively group discussions.
Each 15-credit module consists of approximately 20 one-hour pre-recorded lectures and linked one-hour tutorials with two or three lectures and tutorials delivered each week. Each module offers around 40 hours contact time and 110 hours self-directed study.
You’ll take an active role in your own learning by reading designated material, producing written assignments and completing projects.
*Since the programme is delivered entirely online (aside from optional summer school), you must ensure that you have access to a stable internet connection. It is important to note that poor internet connection will not be a reason for granting extenuating circumstances in the event you are unable to submit coursework or take an exam.

Structure
- 6 compulsory core taught modules
- 2 compulsory elective taught modules
For modules 6 and 8 in the second year, you will have the choice between two elective modules for each.
Module 6 is a choice between 'Diagnostic Tools in Critical Illness' and ‘Tactical Medical Care’:
'Diagnostic Tools in Critical Illness' focuses on the key diagnostic modalities used to improve care in critical illness, such as diagnosing the cause of shock and to guide the resuscitation. We start by studying blood gas analysis, then ECGs, then a brief overview of radiographs before moving to focus on point of care ultrasound for around two thirds of the module. Point of care ultrasound represents the most significant development in early diagnosis in the field of resuscitation medicine. Its use enables clinicians to define shock syndromes at presentation, to identify many key conditions (such as obstructed renal tract, ruptured ectopic pregnancy, intra peritoneal bleeding in trauma shock) and to improve procedural safety. It may be performed similarly pre- and in-hospital, so offering a significant improvement in prehospital care.
‘Tactical Medical Care’ is designed for healthcare professionals who work in tactical roles, the military, work closely with the military, work in expedition medicine or work in the global health/volunteer sector. This module includes talks on global health, mass casualty events, medicine in extreme climates/environments, tactical medicine, event medicine, procedures/techniques used in battlefield injuries, natural disasters and terror attacks. It is delivered by a diverse faculty of international experts drawn from a wide range of careers.
Module 8 is a choice between 'Pre-hospital Care and Mass Casualties’ or ‘Paediatric Emergency Medicine’*.
Whichever modules you take, the qualification is a masters in Emergency and Resuscitation Medicine, and we will provide a list of your module choices for future employers if required.
*Please note that if you wish to focus completely on the paediatric side of emergency medicine, we offer an MSc, PGDip or PGCert in Paediatric Emergency Medicine, in collaboration with global paediatric educational organisation Don't Forget The Bubbles.
