Course Description :

As a Clinical Physiologist, you will play a vital role in the prevention, diagnosis, therapy, monitoring and rehabilitation of patients with a wide range of medical conditions. This programme is unique as it allows you to experience both cardiac and respiratory/sleep physiology before choosing your speciality in either cardiac physiology or respiratory/sleep physiology. Over the three years of the degree, you will spend 50 weeks on placement, learning and focusing on the clinical skills.

St George’s is the only UK university based on a hospital site, which specialises in medical and health sciences education, training and research. You will study in a clinical setting, adopting a patient-centred approach from the outset and mixing with the many different healthcare students and professionals you will go on to work with.

On graduation, you will be eligible to register with the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) and work as a healthcare scientist.

Previous graduates have undertaken further work-based learning, including the NHS funded Scientist Training Programme, accredited by the National School of Healthcare Science (NSHCS).

Highlights

• Accredited by AHCS with eligibility to apply for professional registration with both on graduation.
• Clinical experience in both cardiac physiology and respiratory/sleep physiology during the first year with the choice to specialise in either route.
• Students will perform and interpret a wide range of cardiac and respiratory/sleep diagnostic tests on patients including electrocardiograms (ECG), blood pressure monitoring, cardiac stress tests, assisting with invasive cardiology procedures (e.g angiography), spirometry, measurement of gas exchange and overnight sleep studies.
• 50 weeks spent on placement in a variety of clinical settings within leading NHS clinical physiology departments from as early as the second semester.
• Cutting-edge facilities include a pathology museum, anatomy and dissection rooms, which enable you to learn clinical skills and practice techniques in a safe environment.
• St George’s is the only UK university based on a hospital site.
• A specialist university, you’ll be surrounded by like-minded individuals – our expertise and learning focuses on healthcare, science, medicine and the many medical professions to build your multidisciplinary understanding and context.
