Overview

This module will develop your knowledge and understanding of the pathophysiology and pharmacology of acute and long-term conditions.

We will explore key pathological processes (e.g: infection, acute and chronic inflammation, autoimmunity, cell death, and tissue damage) and how these form the basis of various diseases. The alterations in organ systems and the clinical manifestations will be examined.

The pharmacological management of conditions will be studied, which will enable you to discuss the rationale and implications for drug therapy relevant to specific disease processes.

This module runs in semester 1, and starts on 4 October 2022.

This is a face-to-face course. There are two assessments: a written assignment and a multiple-choice exam.

This module is subject to having a viable number of students to run.

What you will study

This module is provided as part of this interdisciplinary Framework within the Faculty of Health Studies. The Framework enables students to create an individualised programme of study that will meet either their needs and/or the employers’ needs for a changing diverse workforce within a modern organisation.

The modules and academic awards are presented in areas representing employment practice or work based or clinical disciplines.

Whilst some students can build their own academic awards by choosing their own menu of module options, other students will opt for a named academic award. The Framework also provides the option for students to move from their chosen named award to another award if their job or personal circumstances change and they need to alter the focus of their studies. The majority of named awards also offer students, the option of choosing at least one module, sometimes more, from across the Faculty module catalogue enabling them to shape their award more specifically to their needs.
