HEALTHCARE STUDIES
This programme explores a broad understanding of healthcare practice across
the following areas: clinical/practical and scientific skills, the social, cultural
and political factors affecting health, and professional development including
reflective practice. It combines theory with practice via a critical understanding
of healthcare from scientific, practical, theoretical and social perspectives,
engaging with contemporary debates such as national health crises, social
inequalities and community health needs. This full time programme is taught
across one full day of back-to-back lectures, making it highly accessible for
those with work and other commitments.
