Module overview
The module provides students with the opportunity to translate the GMC’s Good Medical Practice principles into day to day clinical practice in a variety of settings.
This module focuses on the practitioner and professional skills, knowledge, understanding and behaviours required of a newly qualified doctor, and the assessments within this module will focus on these areas. Students will engage with source material, discuss real cases in tutorials with clinical staff, and reflect on their learning through creation of questions and a short piece of written work. The BM programmes are integrated programmes in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through a range of modules none of which are stand alone modules and therefore this module should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole year and programme.
The timing will vary for different student groups and the teaching staff will vary for different practices and student groups. As is the nature of clinical placements, the exact learning experiences of each student will be variable however all students will have access to equivalent learning opportunities to achieve the learning outcomes. Students are expected to be pro-active in securing experiences in areas in order to achieve the programme learning outcomes unique to their needs.
Further details will be provided on Blackboard.
