This module is run by distance learning using our online learning environment. It is designed to be undertaken alongside a period of practice in global or remote healthcare. This may be overseas, locally in Plymouth with partnership organisations, or indeed, even as part of your normal role dependent on your workplace. This can all be discussed with the programme team in advance of the module.
