COMMENTS/CONDITIONS
Proposal to change title of course
o Current title: PG Cert Surgical Care Practice
o Proposed title: PG Cert: Surgical First Assistant
MSc/PG Dip/PG Cert Surgical Care Practice was approved by the
approval event on 11 November 2014
The professional body the Royal College of Surgeons of England who
developed and own the curriculum framework for the Surgical Care
Practitioner will not allow the award of ‘Surgical Care Practice’ at any
award lower than a PG Diploma
If a student only completes year 1 and the first specialist module it
equates to the role of Surgical First Assistant, therefore it is appropriate
that the PG Cert carry this title
No impact on students, course commencing January 2015
