New content on English for Nurses course
As part of the ongoing updates to all SLC courses, a new unit on cardiovascular conditions has been published on SLC’s English for Nurses course. This joins recent units on diabetes and mental health care.
There are six learning modules in the unit:
- The heart
- Arrythmias
- Coronary heart disease, hypertension and lifestyle changes
- Coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, angiography
- Heart failure
- Heart medication
The content introduces a wide variety of vocabulary, its pronunciation and explores how it is used in a range of common communicative scenarios.
The unit was written by Virginia Allum, SLC Head of Medical English, who also wrote the internationally popular Cambridge English for Nursing textbooks. Those of you who attended the recent English for Healthcare conference may have seen her presentation on developing animated videos for the digital courses she writes, examining the strengths and limitations of AI video creation tools. There’s a link to the presentation here.
English for Nurses now has 13 units covering a wide range of care, from pain management to falls and injuries, pressure area care, IV therapy, palliative care and much more.
