Description	This module will introduce students to the study of population and individual health. This will include discussion of the political and social determinants of health, as well as genetic factors and the influence of genomics in individual health and personalisation of health care. Health behaviours and their potential links with physical and mental health, morbidity and mortality will also be discussed.

Awareness and strategies for maintenance of own health to support resilience in the practice environment will be discussed. Students will be enabled to develop a theoretical understanding of communication strategies and skills used to support the delivery of effective health promotion, health maintenance and self-care, informed decision making and consent.
