Learning Outcomes:
Having successfully completed this module, participants will be able to:
01 - Formulate a logical, problem-oriented approach to small animals presenting with signs referable to the neurological, urinary or endocrine systems.
02 - Apply key diagnostic testing principles in the context of neurological, urinary and endocrine diseases.
03 - Select appropriate treatments for small animals presenting with neurological, urinary or endocrine systems cognisant of the evidence base available to support the choices made.
04 - Communicate effectively with peers about case management, clearly articulating reasons for the management decisions made and providing constructive feedback on their approaches.
05 - Produce a well-structured clinical question for a neurological, urinary or endocrine scenario and convert this to a structured answerable question using PICO or equivalent.
06 - Carry out an effective search strategy to answer a clinical question screening references for relevance based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
07 - Critically appraise the evidence retrieved from an effective search, analysing and contextualising the results for the appropriate clinical context.
08 - Communicate effectively with peers about case management and provide constructive feedback on their approaches.
09 - Provide evidence of reflective clinical practice.
10 - Critically reflect on learning, identifying strategies for success and highlighting areas for further development.
