Clinical Rheumatology Nursing Course (Advanced)

The complexity of rheumatology diseases requires nurses to be equipped with specific knowledge and skills. This course is design to equip nurses who have basic knowledge of Rheumatology with deeper understanding of the management for more complex cases, such as Systemic Sclerosis, Systemic Vasculitis, Autoimmune Myositis and Rheumatology Emergencies.

These conditions require long term follow-up and have significant physical and psychological impact on them. A multidisciplinary team approach will improve patients’ outcome and experience. We aim for patients to receive continuity and excellent coordinated care, as well as being well-informed so as to manage self-care. The ultimate aim is delivery of value-based care and optimisation of clinical outcomes.

At the end of this course, participants will learn to:

Apply the understanding and knowledge about inflammation and immunological responses
Recognise the clinical signs & symptoms of complex rheumatological conditions
Demonstrate the ability to engage patient and caregiver to participate and self-management of disease
Provide basic patient education to patient and caregiver
Perform clinical nursing assessment to manage patient with rheumatological conditions
Plan relevant nursing management for patients with rheumatological conditions
