Recognising the need for flexibility, this module is delivered on the TU Online platform. You gain the relevant knowledge and skills and develop values and behaviours to support safe and effective practice-based learning.

Teaching combines taught content led by AHP academics and guided and self-directed learning tasks. The taught content is delivered over four 3-hour long sessions spread out over the semester. The self-led content allows you to engage with tasks to suit your schedule.

You examine disease processes at cellular, tissue, organ and multi-system levels. This will enhance your deeper understanding of disease processes, thus facilitating enhanced patient care. This is especially relevant due to changing population demographics of age and multiple co-morbid disease burden.
