“One of the essential qualities of the clinician is interest in humanity: the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient”
Francis W. Peabody, Harvard Medical School 1925.
You will learn the daily practice for frontline clinical staff supporting critical care patients with and without COVID-19, and how to apply ventilation and organ support principles to the care of a critically ill coronavirus patient. You will also explore self care and wellbeing, which is a key part of caring effectively for others. The course focuses on the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020), but you will find key clinical updates from May/June 2021 in Week 4.
