This course is divided into two units:

Unit 1: The Gut Microbiome – Part A
In this unit, participants explore the functions of the gut microbiota, including its role in immune regulation, metabolism, and communication with the nervous system. The unit discusses the factors that affect the composition of the gut microbiota, such as diet, medications, and age. Key insights are provided into how the gut microbiota contributes to health and disease, with a focus on maintaining a balanced microbiome for overall well-being.

Unit 2: The Gut Microbiome – Part B
The second unit delves into the practical application of prebiotics and probiotics for the management of IBS and functional constipation. The unit explains the mechanisms by which these supplements work, including their influence on the gut microbiota and their interactions with the immune and nervous systems. Evidence-based guidelines for the appropriate use of specific strains in clinical practice are provided, along with insights into their effectiveness in symptom management.

This course equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to incorporate prebiotics and probiotics into treatment plans, enhancing patient care in managing gut-related conditions.

What your colleagues say

"I would recommend this course as an important addition to self-directed learning in dermatoscopy. It was an invaluable course to gain the diagnostic tools, knowledge and confidence in managing skin cancer. The course was professionally conducted with excellent presentations."

- L. Suntesic Nurse

"Excellent! This is a great course that has helped me diagnose many more subtle, early skin cancers especially melanoma in situ. The course was clearly presented, with good pictures and course book. All HealthCert's skin cancer courses have been hugely valuable to my practice!"

- R. Mundell Nurse

"An excellent course introduction to dermoscopy and relating what you see to the histopathology and applying this in clinical practice. Great lectures and supporting materials."

- S. Jan Nurse

"I really enjoyed the level of learning. It is very rewarding to know that I am potentially saving lives. Recently I volunteered with the Lions Cancer Institute for two days, and we screened 158 patients, detected 38 possible melanomas and 83 keratinocyte skin cancers. It was a very successful and rewarding two days, and something I could do confidently because of my learning from this course."

- K. Laverty Nurse

"I highly recommend this course. I increased my knowledge and developed confidence in using dermoscopy and in diagnosing melanoma and other skin lesions. Every skin lesion I see means so much more now that it has a name. Great involvement from various skin cancer experts and great videos and reference materials."

- P. Ishri Nurse
