Medical Sciences is an integral part of this course, enabling students to study the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the human body. Alongside learning the pathology of disease, students also come to appreciate the common treatment methods employed within the NHS. This allows students to fully understand their patient and to appreciate the treatments they have previously received or are currently undergoing. As the course progresses, there is more emphasis on medical diagnosis and prognosis. Students will also learn clinical examination procedures and how to use basic diagnostic tools such as blood pressure monitoring equipment. Other issues covered in depth include pre and post - natal health care and a deeper understanding of conventional medical approach to disease.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will have studied the majority of significant disease and be able to responsibly identify a patient requiring hospital referral or other forms of treatment. Students will also be able to converse appropriately with other health care and medical professionals.
