About the course
Overview
Queen Mary has an excellent reputation in emergency medicine, trauma surgery and critical care, and you’ll be taught by world-leading experts recognised for their cutting-edge research. You will be taught a wide range of fascinating topics such as diagnosis, pathophysiology, resuscitation and toxicology, while fine-tuning your existing knowledge on research methodology, legislation and ethics.
Resuscitation is a rapidly evolving area of medicine that crosses the boundaries of emergency medicine, intensive care medicine, anaesthesia, acute/trauma surgery and acute medicine. It is arguably evolving into a subspecialty of medical care. Early recognition of critical illness and appropriate resuscitation saves lives and reduces suffering for our patients. With this course we provide the skills for you to develop expertise in this field.

The course is online, allowing you to study at your own pace and in your own time, enabling you to continue with your work commitments. We provide an excellent structured learning platform for trainees and specialists to develop skills in this area. Years 1 and 2 consist of 8 modules, each of 8 weeks. Each week 2-5 lectures are released, supplemented by weekly tutorials. Year 3 (MSc only) consists of an Independent Scientific Paper with a dedicated lecture training package, allowing you to develop specialist knowledge and insight on a topic of your choice, related to Emergency and Resuscitation Medicine. You may choose to organise your scientific paper in the form of a systematic review (with meta-analysis), narrative review, retrospective (medical-records) review, or prospective (low-risk) cohort study (e.g. education study).
