Description for 2024/25

This is a year-long module for students undertaking the Applied Biomedical Sciences option, which aims to deliver training and education to meet partial fulfilment of the Standards of Proficiency issued by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), as given in the IBMS Registration Portfolio, and to prepare students for their hospital-based placement. Students taking the Biomedical Science route may also take this module as an option.
Students will look at aspects of the framework of healthcare provision within the UK and focus on the role of the Biomedical Scientist within the NHS today. Students will examine cases of poor practice from the Francis Report and discuss ways to improve the patient experience.
A reflective and problem based learning approach runs throughout the module and offers students to opportunity to study alongside students of other healthcare professions, to work together to provide the best healthcare possible for the patient.

Aims
To develop an understanding of the principles, theory and competent practice of Biomedical Science and the relative roles of different Health Care Professionals within the NHS.
