Description	This module is one of eight similar modules, seven of which constitute the first year programme, with the eighth running alongside clinical experience in the second year. The PBL approach enables students to reframe and elaborate their existing learning while achieving deep learning of new concepts. The cases used will require students to learn about concepts from the biological and non-biological sciences in application to medicine, building an enhanced and relevant science base from which to begin the development of clinical skills. Coverage in this module will include circulation and respiration and how the body responds to local and systemic demands. The nervous and hormonal controls are also introduced, in relation to the maintenance of homeostasis. Public health issues will be covered, including the prevalence of circulatory and respiratory problems in the population and means employed in meeting the health of the nation targets.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module the student should be able to:1.Demonstrate learning in relation to the biological and integrated health science issues raised during the module that contributes to their achievement of the detailed outcomes for the year. -The cardiovascular system: responses to stress and exercise. -Haematology: blood production, composition and function. -Blood grouping: self and non-self. -Allergy and auto-immunity. -The importance of quality of life indicators in the determination of health policy. -The psychology of pain. -The doctor-patient relationship: patient centred care and the locus of control2.Demonstrate application of prior learning to the issues under consideration in this module and the effective assimilation of new learning in relation to medicine and its supporting disciplines.3.Demonstrate a sense of responsibility for their own learning that will support their continuing academic and professional development.4.Recognise the value of co-operative group learning and demonstrate a willingness to share their own knowledge, experience and insights with other members of their learning group.5.Demonstrate a developing level of personal awareness and interpersonal skill that will allow them to function effectively in various roles in their learning group and to interact appropriately with patients and fellow health professions.
