Pathophysiology is the study of physical and biological abnormalities which adversely affect homeostasis leading to ill health.

All nurses should have an in-depth understanding of acute and chronic illnesses and their effect on the human body. This knowledge together with critical thinking skills enables you to recognise and respond to signs and symptoms of patients’ conditions from a pathophysiological perspective.

The following series of videos introduce foundational concepts related to pathophysiology.
