Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology Refresher Course
Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology Refresher Course
Our Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology Refresher Course is a fully online CPD course created specifically for qualified complementary therapists and wellness professionals who would like to revisit and refresh their existing knowledge and is aimed for those who have perhaps not been working regularly since they qualified.
How much of the Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology you learnt during your original training can you still remember?
For most therapists, the answer is probably – not all of it!
Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology underpins everything we do as complementary therapists, but once we move into practice it is natural for some of that knowledge to become a little less familiar, particularly the body systems we don’t consciously think about every day.
Work through the body systems again in a clear and structured way, remind yourself of terminology and concepts you may have forgotten, and strengthen the underlying knowledge that supports safe and informed professional practice.
With 12 months’ access, you can work through the course entirely at your own pace and return to the material whenever you need a reminder.
Reconnect With the Knowledge Behind Your Practice
You don’t necessarily need to start again to strengthen your understanding of the body.
Sometimes you simply need the opportunity to go back, revisit and remember.
Whether your original Anatomy & Physiology training was a few years ago or you have simply realised there are certain systems you could do with brushing up on, this flexible online course gives you a structured way to refresh the foundations behind your professional practice.
Study online, work at your own pace and give your A&P&P knowledge the refresh it deserves.
Why you should train with us
We believe continuing professional development isn’t only about learning something new.
Sometimes one of the most valuable things you can do is revisit what you already know.
Anatomy and physiology provides an important foundation for understanding the body, communicating with clients and other professionals, recognising when treatment may not be appropriate and making informed decisions within your own scope of practice.
This online refresher gives you a structured way to return to that foundation without repeating a complete Level 3 qualification.
The course is provided and certificated by ThinkTree, giving you a recognised CPD learning experience that you can complete flexibly around your existing work and commitments
