Why should I take this course?

This micro skills course from the Royal College of Physicians covers the features in the history and examination along with initial tests that can help distinguish between glomerular and urological causes of haematuria. An algorithm including indications for referral to Nephrology and Urology will be covered.

Are the programs accredited for continuous professional development (CPD) or continuing medical education (CME)?

Our courses have been developed and are delivered by Talisium's global network of content providers including universities and various professional bodies whose work underpins CPD for healthcare professionals.
Certificates of completion will be available and can be downloaded once a course has been completed. These can be used as evidence of learning for training and CPD purposes. You will need to check with your governing body about CPD standards and requirements.
Unless otherwise stated, certificates issued through Talisium are not qualifications of any formal assessment.

Do I need any prior qualifications or experience?
