Our Trauma Sciences programmes
Our Trauma Sciences programmes will give you a thorough grounding in the principles underlying the disease of trauma, and a critical understanding of the up-to-date science and practice of trauma care.
Trauma Sciences
Online, part-time
Pathways available
- MSc Trauma Sciences – 2 years
- MSc Trauma Sciences (Military and Humanitarian) – 2 years
Can we improve survival and outcomes following traumatic injury? Severe injury triggers a sequence of changes within the cells of the body and can lead to critical and disabling illness. Learn to understand these changes and improve patients’ survival and recovery. You will learn how to understand the sequence of changes within the cells of the body caused by severe injury, and how this can lead to critical and disabling illness. You will also learn how to improve patients’ survival, outcomes and recovery while developing a broad, critical understanding of the up-to-date science and practice of trauma care.
If you choose to study on the Military and Humanitarian version of the course, you will also learn the key aspects and develop an understanding of the up-to-date science and practice of military and humanitarian trauma care. The module will give you a broad and critical understanding of developments in trauma care in military and disaster settings and will cover triage, pre-hospital care, mass casualty management and surge capacity, ballistics, chemical and biological trauma. The latest techniques learnt by the military will be proposed and critically evaluated. Opportunities for the training of military trauma care specialists are extremely limited, and many defence agencies rely on the deployment situation as the primary training for their personnel. Taking this module along with the rest of the Trauma Sciences programme will help you to develop the skills needed in situations of dire emergency and global disaster.
It is open to you if you work clinically within major Trauma, both in the UK and Internationally, and particularly if you are seeking to expand your academic and professional portfolio while making a genuine contribution to the field of Trauma. We understand your desire to update your knowledge of trauma and critically ill patients while balancing this with your other commitments. Therefore, you will be able to study part-time, online from anywhere in the world.
Orthopaedic Trauma Science
Online, part-time
Pathways available
- MSc Orthopaedic Trauma Science – 2 years
Our Orthopaedic Trauma Science programme will give you a broad critical understanding of the up-to-date science and practice of trauma care, with a focus on orthopaedic and orthoplastic management. You will develop the knowledge, technical skills, decision-making and professionalism to provide safe and high-quality medical care and deliver a core set of clinical functions in the management of injured patients. You will also learn how to improve patients’ survival and outcomes following traumatic injury, allowing you to meet your local, regional and national needs for managing orthopaedic trauma.
It is open to UK and international graduates from all healthcare and health sciences backgrounds including surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, operating department staff, allied health professionals and those with a specialist interest in orthopaedic trauma education and training. We understand your desire to update your knowledge of orthopaedic trauma while balancing this with your other commitments. Therefore, you will be able to study part-time, online from anywhere in the world.
