As taught in Autumn Semester 2009

This module has two essential components: Evidence-Based Medicine and Public Health. Evidence-Based Medicine was introduced as a new discipline because traditionally the teaching of medicine was heavily reliant on an apprenticeship-type system with emphasis on learning from observing one’s teachers. One of the guiding principles in the NHS today is that all health care should be based on research evidence. One of the aims of this module is to cover core concepts in epidemiology and basic statistics so that you are able to understand the evidence presented in research papers and apply it to your clinical practice.

The Public Health component of this module will provide you with insight into the factors affecting the health at a population level and how these may be addressed. It also aims to show how these factors may be distributed and how this can contribute to inequalities in health between populations.

Suitable for study: Undergraduate level year 1

It describes the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), a classification system published by the World Health Organisation to describe health status.  
This system is widely used in rehabilitation research and practice to describe impairments of body structure and function and how these impact on activities and participation.

By the end of this package you should be able to:

• Early Clinical Experience (ECE)
(General Practice visits) – led by the Director of Clinical Skills

• Professional Competencies
(practical clinical and technical skills) – led by the Director of Clinical Skills

• Professional Values
(attitudes and behaviour) – led by the Head of PPD
 
Module Codes: A12P1G & A12P2G
 
Year: 2010 to 2012
 
Suitable for study at: Level 2
 
Credits: 15

Target Students: Restricted to students registered for the GEM (Graduate Entry Medicine) programme There is a limited number of places on this module. Students are reminded that enrolments which are not agreed by the Offering School in advance may be cancelled without notice.

As taught Autumn Semester 2010.

This resource presents a number of postgraduate courses that are offered by the Division of Epidemiology and Public Health: 

Applied Epidemiology 
Public Health 
Public Health (International Health) 

It covers the work Masters students need to undertake in the modules that, first, cover the development of a protocol and project (A34574) and, secondly, the assessment of the dissertation (A34575). 

For Diploma students following the Diploma in Public Health or Diploma in Applied Epidemiology the information covers the development of a protocol and a literature review or short epidemiological study (A34562 or A34580 respectively).

Module Code: A34574 (Protocol for Masters students - 10 credits) 

Module Code: A34575 (Dissertation for Masters students - 60 credits) 

Module Code: A34562 (Planning a protocol and reviewing literature for Diploma students - 20 credits) 

Module Code: A34580 (Protocol and Epidemiological Study for Diploma Students - 20 credits)

Suitable for study at: Postgraduate level

Dr Heather Roberts and Professor Sarah Lewis, Division of Epidemiology and Public Health

Professor Lewis: My expertise is in medical statistics and epidemiology. Areas of research interest include the aetiology of asthma and allergy (effects of early life factors, indoor and outdoor pollution, and diet upon these conditions), tobacco research (impact of environmental tobacco smoke on respiratory disease and in utero effects on birthweight and gestation, design of cessation interventions for specific groups including teenagers, economically disadvantaged, pregnant women), and design and analysis of clinical trials (multi-centre trials of IV antibiotics in CF and NRT in hospital in-patients, cluster randomised trial of pr-active approach to providing smoking cessation support).

Dr Roberts: My interests are wide-ranging but rooted in my interests in inequalities in health and increasing public health capacity and capability in developing countries. I have taught on and now lead, the Masters in Public Health during which time I have supervised many projects based on local and international student interests. I enjoy taking students’ ideas and working them up, through to a complete investigation. The Student Handbook is based on our collective experience of what students need to know to complete successful project work.
