Advanced Critical Care

The Advanced Critical Care course at Bangor University is for nurses with experience in critical care. This 12-week course helps students learn about critical care and how to take care of patients who are very sick.

Students learn about what happens to the body when someone is critically ill and how to help them. They practice what they learn in simulated scenarios, which helps them get ready for real-world challenges.

After completing the course, students can work as Advanced Critical Care Practitioners, Critical Care Nurses, or Clinical Educators. They can work in hospitals, healthcare organizations, or schools. The skills they learn can be used in many different healthcare settings.
