This module is designed to develop the basic sciences that were introduced in Informing Sciences 1. Drawing on your learning, you will develop applied knowledge to further advance your understanding of anatomy, physiology, psychology and sociology, to understand health and ill health.
This module runs 3 sessions per week in the summer term, alongside the modules, ‘Interprofessional Working and Development’, ‘Engagement in Occupation’ and ‘Concepts of Therapy’. You will draw upon the experiences you have gained from your first exploratory placement and other module learning in order to develop an advanced knowledge and understanding of the biopsychosocial impacts upon health and wellbeing. You will utilise the workbook completed in ‘Informing Sciences 1’ as the foundation upon which to develop your learning. There is a greater emphasis on your self-directed learning and engagement, which is supported by tutor-led and small study group activities.
