Graduate Certificate in Clinical Nursing

A large percentage of chronic disease risk can be attributed to lifestyle behaviours. However, assisting individuals to modify their lifestyle remains an ongoing challenge for many health practitioners.The Master of Lifestyle Medicine is designed for health practitioners working in general medicine, allied health, nursing or other health disciplines who wish to develop skills and knowledge in the specialised field of lifestyle medicine. The course assists practitioners to more confidently prescribe lifestyle interventions and facilitate behaviour change in order to support the prevention and management of chronic disease and to improve patient outcomes.The Master of Lifestyle Medicine is taught by leaders in the field and uses an evidence-based approach to examine the principles and practices of lifestyle medicine, including determinants of health, clinical processes and models of care, and strategies and interventions for preventing and managing disease. A capstone research project also enables students to investigate an area of interest in depth.This course is part of Southern Cross University’s suite of health degrees that take an interdisciplinary and patient-centred approach to healthcare.

Guide your patients through lifestyle choices to help them live healthier lives. You’ll explore how factors including food, exercise, and sleep can make a real difference. Learn to conduct assessments and make plans. Change their habits and behaviours.
