Sepsis Recognition & Management
Sepsis Recognition & Management
Module overview

Sepsis is a medical emergency. It is also one of the most survivable emergencies in healthcare — but only when it is recognised early and treated fast. This module trains the skill at the heart of that: knowing how to think "could this be sepsis?" and what to do in the first, decisive hour.

Learning ou​tcomes:

1 Define sepsis and septic shock using the current Sepsis-3 framework.
2 Recognise the early signs of sepsis using structured screening (NEWS, qSOFA) and clinical red flags.
3 Apply the time-critical first-hour response — the Sepsis Six — in a logical sequence.
4 Describe the Australian Sepsis Clinical Care Standard and the nurse's role in escalation.
5 Adapt recognition to special populations: older adults, maternal, paediatric and neutropenic patients.

How this module works
Move through each section using Next or jump using the chips above. You'll meet short knowledge checks along the way — these are for your own learning and are not graded. Your formal assessment (a quiz and reflective practice) is a separate activity in this course.

A note on scope
This is foundational education for internationally qualified nurses. It does not replace your workplace's sepsis pathway, local antimicrobial guidelines, or your professional obligation to escalate. Always follow the policies and clinical governance of your facility.

Perinatal Training Programme
Perinatal Training Programme
Programme overview

A comprehensive, interactive programme across the perinatal continuum — combining Fetal Monitoring and Maternity Crisis Management for midwives and doctors. It builds detailed understanding of fetal surveillance and the structured response to obstetric emergencies, anchored to RANZCOG guidance.

Stream 1 · Fetal Monitoring

  1. Fetal physiology
  2. Antenatal CTG
  3. Intrapartum cardiotocography
  4. CTG simulation lab (interactive cases)
  5. Cord blood gas
  6. Errors & limitations in fetal monitoring
  7. Intrapartum intermittent auscultation

Stream 2 · Maternity Crisis Management

  1. Shoulder dystocia
  2. Breech
  3. Postpartum haemorrhage
  4. Maternal collapse
  5. Pre-eclampsia & eclampsia
  6. Uterine rupture
  7. Cord presentation & prolapse
  8. Antepartum haemorrhage
How this programme works
Use Next or the chips above to move through the streams. Interactive elements — the CTG simulation lab, the cord-gas interpreter, and the emergency-drill walkthroughs — are designed to be explored. Knowledge checks are for learning and are not graded; your formal assessment (quiz + reflective practice) is separate.
Scope & safety — please read
This is educational content aligned to RANZCOG principles. CTG interpretation here uses the RANZCOG framework, but this programme does not certify competency. It complements — it does not replace — accredited fetal-surveillance education (such as RANZCOG FSEP), hands-on obstetric-emergency training (such as PROMPT), and your local guidelines. All clinical decisions require appropriately qualified clinicians acting within their scope.

Diabetes Nursing Management
Diabetes Nursing Management
Module overview

Diabetes touches almost every area of nursing. This module builds the everyday skills: monitoring blood glucose and interpreting it, giving insulin safely, recognising and managing highs and lows fast, and helping people manage a lifelong condition well.

Learning outcomes

1 Distinguish the main types of diabetes and how they are diagnosed.
2 Monitor blood glucose accurately and interpret results against targets.
3 Describe the major insulin types and administer insulin safely as a high-risk medicine.
4 Recognise and manage hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemic emergencies (DKA, HHS).
5 Support patient education and self-management to reduce complications.

How this module works
Use Next or the chips above. The insulin action-profile gallery and the glucose interpreter are interactive — explore them. Knowledge checks are for your learning and are not graded; your formal assessment (quiz + reflective practice) is separate.

A note on scope
Foundational education for internationally qualified nurses. Glucose values use mmol/L (Australian units). This does not replace your facility's diabetes/insulin protocols, the prescriber's orders, or your scope of practice. Always follow local policy.

Vital Signs & Clinical Assessment
Vital Signs & Clinical Assessment

Module overview

Vital signs are the most basic — and most powerful — data in nursing. Measured accurately and interpreted in context, they reveal how a patient is doing and when something is changing. This module sharpens both the measuring and the thinking.

Learning outcomes

1 Explain why accurate vital signs and a baseline matter.

2 State the normal adult ranges and what each vital sign tells you.

3 Measure each vital sign accurately and avoid common errors.

4 Perform a structured baseline clinical assessment of the whole patient.

5 Interpret findings against trends and baseline, and act on abnormalities.

How this module works

Use Next or the chips above. The vital-signs interpreter is interactive — set values and see how each reads. Knowledge checks are for your learning and are not graded; your formal assessment (quiz + reflective practice) is separate.

A note on scope

Foundational education for internationally qualified nurses. Normal ranges are typical adult values for guidance — children, pregnancy and some conditions differ, and your facility's observation chart defines local thresholds. Always follow local policy and your scope of practice.
