Paediatrics Programme – IN PERSON Certificate version – lectures in Lancashire, clinics in Bristol / Ireland

Overview:

THIS IS THE SAME PROGRAMME AS THE HYBRID / ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING, PLUS PRACTICAL  CLINICAL BLOCK VERSION – THE SAME CERTIFICATE OF PAEDIATRC OSTEOPATHY IS AWARDED. (NB People are able to purchase the blocks only, as a continuing professional development option, but only people on the Certificate / Diploma pathways can access the clinical blocks).

BLOCK ATTENDANCE ADVANTAGES: This is to allow you to attend lectures in person, without having to follow them as pre-recorded videos on line.  You will anyway get the full online library of pre-recorded lectures and resources as the hybrid course, which gives you many more hours of additional lectures, resources and learning, but the core programme IN Lancashire is to enable you to do the core course content in 2 5-day blocks, in person, with all the practicals together.  You are then able to do one clinical weekend in Bristol.

Many people prefer the direct lecture format, so this option is to help those who do not cope well with large amounts of online learning and watching videos.

There is a small amount of supplementary reading, and assessment work which is done online, and you are able the live zoom meetings / tutorials, which are once a month, for additional support.  Please note, the zoom meetings are through the year, and will help you will your assignments, and to pull everything together.

• zoom tutorials, forums / chats, assessments and
• 6 days of clinics and extra practicals (currently we have a choice, of Bristol and Ireland).

Accommodation now included (limited spaces)!

The College now has a larger dedicated lecture space, and also a small student house, which can host a number of students in bunk style / sofa bed style accommodation (first come first served). If full, you will need to find and fund your own accommodation. Please contact Caroline to check. Compact and bijou this is a small mill cottage within Nelson, which is a working class ex-spinning and weaving town. This is 10 minutes walk from the lecture room and you walk past a swimming pool and spa, there are various supermarkets within 2-3 minutes of the house or the lecture room.  Nearby is amazing Pendle Hill- all the Lancashire country around Pendle is fantastic, great for walking, lots of history (think Pendle Witch Trials) and there are nearly Colne and the upmarket Barrowford Village with lots of eateries and bars. The Leeds and Liverpool canal goes through the bottom of Nelson, as does Pendle Water (river), and so lots of leisurely spaces to visit.  Other accommodation can be found via the usual booking sites as Pendle is a tourist area. (NB this is for the lectures in Nelson only and for the clinics in London you will have to find and find your own accommodation!).
