This module provides a vital foundation in the biosciences for mental health nursing, highlighting the deep connection between physical and mental well-being. Students will explore the intricate workings of key physiological systems and gain insight into how mental illness can impact physical health. They will examine common physical health conditions—such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and epilepsy—that frequently coexist with mental health disorders, along with the underlying pathophysiological processes. Students will also explore the role of genetics in shaping both physical and mental health across the lifespan.

With a focus on holistic care, this module unpacks the biological effects of mental illness and the fundamentals of pharmacology, equipping students with the knowledge to understand how medications work in mental health nursing. Most importantly, students will develop the essential skills to assess physical health, recognise signs of deterioration, and provide compassionate, integrated care that bridges the gap between physical and psychological well-being, ensuring that individuals receive truly whole-person care.

The BM4 course in years 1 and 2 is a highly contextualised and integrated course in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learnt through clinical topic weeks, in which students learn in a style similar to problem based learning. This module focuses on integration of knowledge learned in Foundations, research and writing skills and professional/transferable skills of reflection, communication and learning to work independently and as part of a team. The assessment is predominantly assessing this. However, it is not a stand-alone module and should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole course, which is achieved by this module, alongside 2 other modules: – Foundations of Medicine 1, and Clinical Medicine 1.

The emphasis of the assessments for each of these modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module; however the integrated nature of the course means that there will undoubtedly be overlap and aspects of the assessment in each module will draw upon learning from all 3 modules.

Further details will be provided on Blackboard.

This module will allow you to explore some key areas of intellectual property law, such as trademarks, copyright and patents. Emphasis is placed on the process of European Union (EU) harmonisation of intellectual property rights, and its implications for UK law, also in relation to Brexit.

Some of the questions addressed in this course include: What is an ‘invention’ and is it industrially application? Who can be considered an author? What does ‘originality’ mean in a copyright context? Do you need permission from the copyright holder to provide links to his/her content over the internet? Can you resell your videogames, ebooks and iTunes music tracks? What form of IP protection is available to those businesses that use signs and symbols in the course of trade? What is a trade mark, and what are its functions? What is character and personality merchandising, and how can you have someone endorse your products?

This module allows and encourages you to undertake a critical analysis of the state of the law in the field of trademarks, copyright and patents, as well as international influences and the impact of harmonisation at the EU level.

Whilst seminar materials are provided, significant emphasis is placed on self-learning, enabling the seminars to concentrate on specific topics and issues.
