Course content

This course has been developed by paediatric disability experts at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust.

After completing the course you will be able to:

1. Understand the pathology and pathophysiology relating to hearing impairments and synthesise this into clinical practice.
2. Assess and manage children and young people with hearing impairments.
3. Make informed judgements within this area of Neurodisability, knowing when to ask for help and when to refer on.
4. Critically evaluate local health services.

You can apply and start the course any time throughout the year.

The course is self-paced. As a guide, a minimum of four hours study time per week should help you to complete the course in approximately four months. We are flexible with the timeframe as there is no deadline for completion.
