The module runs over several weeks as an exclusively online format.
You will explore how most of the conditions / diseases that we are familiar with have at their point of onset one or two of a limited number of possible malfunctions (alterations in homeostatic balance at cellular level) the downstream effects of which manifest themselves in tissue / organ and systemic malfunctions which we recognise by their associated signs and symptoms.
Rather than cover the major conditions in a system by system approach the aim of the module is to equip you with a toolbox of transferable understanding which will allow you to better understand conditions and diseases that you are unfamiliar with and the rationale for intervention / treatment.
You will need to complete an induction prior to commencement of your first module. We have a comprehensive online induction package to welcome you to both the University and your programme of study.
