NCAT has been developed to meet the educational needs of all health care professionals involved in anticoagulation management.
Our palate of courses has been driven by demand from our students and has now extended to training courses for associated topics, eg, cardiovascular disease, point of care testing, diabetes, travel health and pharmacology.
Our courses are delivered by leading national figures with lectures based on up-to-the-minute information. Knowledge is gained through a variety of delivery methods.
Accredited Courses - All accredited courses are clinically based MSc modules set at 20 credits and as such can be undertaken to build up credits towards an MSc in Primary Care Clinical Sciences and Community Health.
