The module will draw on the student’s prior learning with regard to various psychological areas; including but not restricted to, learning theory (operant and classical), attitude, attachment, behaviour change. An introduction to animal behaviour and welfare will be provided using example from various groups of species. Through the lens of One Welfare and consideration of current topical issues of human-animal interactions, the complexities of understanding and negotiating between the desires and needs of the humans and non-humans are investigated, and the potential for unintended direct and indirect consequences explored - be those relating to human or animal health/welfare, and/or environmental concerns.

The field of human-animal interactions and the role of psychology within it is growing rapidly. It has importance at local, global, political and personal levels in a range of areas of One Welfare concern including; wildlife conservation, wildlife (pest) control, stray animals, animals kept in laboratories, farms, or as pets, 'dangerous' dogs and animals used for human therapy or entertainment.

This module is intended to encourage students to synthesise knowledge from their degree and critically apply it to areas of human-animal interactions.

This module explores new possibilities for creative computing beyond the computer screen. Through group work you will devise a prototype project for a non-screen based experience that might be, for example, a location-aware or geolocation-based application, an interactive installation, robotic artwork, a digitally-supported physical game or a wearable system. You will draw on the skills and knowledge you have gained so far but be supported in developing and adding to them as you work on your project. Through this team-based project you will develop skills in collaboration, project management, and begin to identify your own areas of interest and expertise with creative computing.

The aim of this module is to understand applied pharmacology in light of the basic principles studied in BIOL2048. The course is structured to provide knowledge for the key areas in which drug actions are applied to treat disease.

Lectures will be accompanied by practical, with alternatives in place if required to meet minimum learning outcomes.

On successful completion of the module, practitioners are eligible to register as an independent and/or supplementary prescriber in accordance with current professional standards and regulations.

Students are required to fulfil all current professional requirements for course entry in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery council (NMC 2018), and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC 2019).

Nurses and midwives will normally be qualified for three years, and working in the area in which they will be prescribing for at least one year, prior to commencing the module.

AHPs are required to be working in the area where they will prescribe for 3 years (HCPC).

Paramedics are required to be qualified for five years and have undertaken or are working towards an advanced practice qualification (as defined by Health Education England, usually an MSc) (College of Paramedics 2018, annex F).

Nurses and midwives must have a practice supervisor and practice assessor (NMC Standards for Student Supervision and Assessment 2018).
The supervisor would normally be a medical prescriber, a pharmacist independent prescriber or an experienced nurse independent prescriber working in a similar area of practice, who holds an MSc level qualification.
The practice assessor would normally be a medical doctor.

AHPs are required to have a designated prescribing practitioner (DPP) in practice who facilitates 12 days (90) hrs learning in practice. This time can also be spent with experienced pharmacists and NMPs while retaining the DPP as the key assessor.

All practice supervisors and practice assessors will be invited to an introduction to programme, to develop an understanding of the programme, the programme outcomes, their role as a practice supervisor and/or practice assessor, and to support them in practice. This will also be an opportunity to engage with other practice supervisors and practice assessors and share experiences. For those who are unable to attend there will be access to Blackboard for information, and a recording of the introduction session available.

All relevant course materials and programme handbook will be emailed to them prior to course commencement.
Support for their role can be offered, on an individual basis, if required.
