Years 1 - 2
You will study the normal and abnormal functioning of the human body using a systems-based approach, with integrated modules covering the core biomedical and psychosocial sciences.
You will start to develop clinical skills in history taking, physical examination, diagnosis and effective communication with patients in a classroom setting and by gaining experience in primary, secondary and third sector placements.
Your anatomy study will explore the human body and its relevance to clinical practice. This will include a combination of cadaveric dissection, prosection, living anatomy, ultrasound sessions, virtual and augmented reality.
Student-Selected Components (SSCs) will allow you to undertake individual studies and explore selected topics in depth, informed by the latest research.
In Year 2 you will continue to build on the clinical skills taught in Year 1, covering venepuncture and phlebotomyskills, intermediate life support and the initial assessment of patients in different settings (eg, the emergency department). You will also take part in four immersion weeks, where you will focus on general practice, learning from allied health professionals and community care teams.
You will also spend time with a person living with dementia and their carer in our award-winning Timefor Dementia programme.
