It will allow you to gain experience with intravenous sedation and your knowledge will be developed through distance learning modules and study days.
Clinical skills will be acquired during supervised clinical practice in Bristol, and as you progress through the certificate you will gain a greater understanding of pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain and anxiety control.
The Anxiety Management unit will provide you with a knowledge and critical understanding of the theoretical framework that underpins cognitive therapy, including self-help and behavioural approaches.
