This module covers principles of nervous system structure and function, as applied to the understanding, recognition, and management of common neurological diseases.

The Applied Knowledge 7 (AK7) module is a highly contextualised and integrated course in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical concepts and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through clinical topic weeks. This module focuses on the “application of knowledge and understanding applicable to medicine”. 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 the other “Applied Knowledge”, “Medical Humanities”, “Personal and Professional Development 2", “Clinical Practice 2” and “Research as Applied to Medicine 2” modules. Assessments will focus on assessing an integrated understanding of the principles studied in all of these modules.

Teaching is through lecture-based material, small group tutorials, and practical sessions. Further details will be provided on Blackboard.

The first part of this module covers principles of nervous system structure and function, as applied to the understanding, recognition, and management of common mental health conditions. The last two weeks of the module cover the medicine of ageing and care of the patient at the end of life.

The Applied Knowledge 8 (AK8) module is a highly contextualised and integrated course in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical concepts and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through clinical topic weeks. This module focuses on the “application of knowledge and understanding applicable to medicine”. 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 the other “Applied Knowledge”, “Medical Humanities”, “Personal and Professional Development 2", “Clinical Practice 2” and “Research as Applied to Medicine 2” modules.

Applied Knowledge A will enable you to understand key physiological, anatomical & biochemical concepts and principles that you can apply in clinical scenarios.

The module topics include: key features and stages in the human life cycle; the structure and function of biological molecules; the structure and function of cells and tissues; principles of genetics; anatomy; nutrition and the digestive system; enzymology and energetics; immunology and medical microbiology; numerical calculations related to clinical care.

This module is a synoptic assessment module incorporating all previous modules in the programme and constitutes the Applied Knowledge Assessment (AKT) component of ‘Finals’.

This module comprises the Applied Knowledge Assessment (currently MCQ format) assessment of ‘Finals’ along with revision sessions.

The BM programmes are highly contextualised and 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 standalone modules and therefore this module should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole programme. The Applied Knowledge assessment in BM final year is studied along with 2 other assessment modules (Clinical and Professional Skills assessment (CPSA), and the Workplace based assessment module). The emphasis of the assessments for each of the 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 modules studied in earlier years as well as modules studied in that year. The final year Applied Knowledge Assessment module has been purposely designed to assess learning outcomes covered in any of the modules within the programme.

The AKT is alongside the CPSA designed and intended to form the GMC mandated Medical licensing assessment (MLA) from academic year 2024/25 onwards. In preparation for this the design, content and format of the AKT module has been developed collaboratively over several years with the medical schools council, Now that the MLA-AKT has 'gone live' then this exam is embedded within this module as its sole assessment. The GMC has now approved our joint arrangements with the medical schools council as it has other UK medical schools. This exam is therefore an assessment shared with the other UK medical schools via the MSC. Many aspects of its design, format and content are therefore set nationally and subject to national regulation.

In preparation for this the design, content and format of the AKT has been developed collaboratively over several years with the medical schools council as part of a multi-year pilot exam for the MLA – AKT. The GMC has now approved our arrangements and it has ‘gone live’, but because it has been aligned to the MSC plans for several years, its design and content has been consistent for several years and there are no major changes as it ‘goes live’. Many aspects of its design, format and content are therefore set nationally and subject to national regulation.
