In this module students will learn about the consequences that living with a chronic disease (or diseases) has on the individual, as well as the impact on family, friends, and carers. Students will focus their learning on a particular chronic disease pertinent to their professional practice that is recognized globally, nationally or locally as a health priority. They will then use an evidence-informed approach to explore the role of the nurse in the enhancement of patient outcomes and the development of effective self-management strategies.
