Become a much more effective physiotherapist, able to manage Home Hospitalization Units through this postgraduate diploma"

Even so, home hospitalization is becoming a benchmark in physiotherapist care, a care focused on people and their health, as well as social needs, and allows healthcare professionals to offer their patients the necessary care and treatment with the same quality as if it were provided in hospital facilities. 

In certain cases, when the disease has a stable clinical diagnosis and does not require specific equipment that can only be found in hospitals, it is better for patients to be cared for in their own homes, since the daily routine at home and the tranquility that this space provides the patient make it the most suitable therapeutic location. 

Demographic change requires an extreme rethinking of health care, previously focused on acute processes and cure as the primary objective and having hospitals as the center of attention, towards a medicine aimed at care rather than cure and having the person and their closest environment, the home where they live, as the center, without reducing the quality of care or the use of hospital-intensive resources. 

This program is focused on deepening the understanding of all aspects which make home hospitalization unique and different from other medical specialties in physiotherapist. It also demonstrates the weaknesses and future opportunities we have ahead of us, making the most of new educative technology available. 

The syllabus is presented in a rigorous shape with the latest scientific evidence and clinical cases in which to advance our knowledge, in order to share experiences and innovative techniques that are already performed in different Home Hospitalization Units in other locations.
