Module 8 – Clinical Reporting

Clinical Reporting

In this final module we look at the content of a good clinical report. Delivering a lifelong diagnosis and answering patient questions.

We review the flow from referral to end report, in the diagnostic journey.

We consider the waiting period, non-medical treatment options and the introduction of self-help strategies for newly diagnosed patients.

A final exam revisits the course content, and a course certificate is generated on successful completion of the course.
