Continuing Professional Development: Exploring endocrinology
Abstract
Overview
This Continuing Professional Development (CPD) module will look at how the body organises change through hormone control, exploring the subject of endocrinology. It will support the paramedic to think about the normal functions of common hormones from the level of origin through to target end organs. It will also help us to think about endocrinology-related diseases, in terms of when those hormones are over-produced or under-utilised and the clinical implementation of what that means to paramedic practice.
