All pain begins acutely with activation of nociceptive pathways. In this module you will explore the basic sciences underpinning the pain experience – anatomy of the nervous system, physiology and pharmacology of pain and pain therapeutics. You will examine common acute pain scenarios, for example post-operative, and different approaches to optimal pain management including prevention of chronicity of the pain state.

This module takes London, a global, multicultural city as our lab for exploring social science theories and methods. It engages with current social issues in the city, situating them historically and within wider national and global contexts. The module considers what a focus on a particular city, in this case London, can contribute to the social sciences, and conversely considers how social science concepts and theories can contribute to a richer understanding of cities and city life. The module is not a ‘London studies’ module – although students will certainly learn more about the city they live and study in – but an introduction to theories, approaches and methods used by social scientists, using London as exemplar site. Indicative topics include: London as a global city; exclusion and inequality; conviviality; neighbourhoods and diversity; gentrification; youth cultures; London as a migrant city; political protest and riots; households and family life.
