These seminars will cover important topics in clinical microbiology, genetics and biochemistry that are clearly connected to nursing practice. Topics will include how infections start and spread, disease pathogenesis (how diseases develop), antibiotic resistance, and sexually transmitted diseases. The seminars will also cover genes and health and the primary chemical processes in the human body. Nurses will learn how this knowledge can support patient care, for instance by helping to prevent infections, understand illnesses, administer treatments and recognise early warning signs. The goal is to help nurses bridge the gap between science and everyday clinical practice.

There are no essential prerequisites. However, a good basic knowledge of molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, pathogenesis and nursery science would be very helpful.

There are no required textbooks for this course. Students will be provided with the slides used during the seminars, along with a selection of scientific articles and relevant supplementary materials related to the topics covered, to support individual study and preparation for assessments

The teacher delivers lectures with traditional or blended methods with power point presentation and scheduling of lessons as reported on GOMP Aure/Orari system, published on the website of CdS.

Mandatory attandence

The attitudinal test will assess the student's ability to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired during the seminars to simulated or described clinical situations. Critical thinking skills, the ability to recognise relevant clinical signs, make appropriate nursing care decisions and adhere to the ethical and professional principles of nursing will be taken into consideration.
