The Clinical Practice Module explores the nature of doctor-patient consultations and the impact of global politics and ideology on practice. This also includes a strong focus on the cross-cultural aspects of patient-professional interactions and we examine the multi-cultural range of patient and professional identities of populations within and around London.

Students will also have opportunities to see patients and run their own surgeries in GP placements. The module combines clinical experience with an in-depth exploration of the nuances of doctor-patient interactions so students can develop the crucial skills of synthesising theory, skills, evidence and policy to excel as clinicians in the future.

This module aims to ensure that students can:

Demonstrate an understanding of the range of cultural and social factors shaping clinical interactions;

Critically engage with patient and professional perspectives influencing patient-centredness and decision-making during consultations;

Apply knowledge of research, experience and policy to observation and engagement in practice.

Teaching Delivery: This module is taught in 20 weekly lectures.

Content: A module of exercises and discussions designed to improve fluency of unprepared translation into English from Greek prose and verse authors. Weekly classes provide practice in unseen translation of a wide-ranging selection of Greek prose and verse authors. Classwork focuses upon discussion of grammar and grammatical style, common pitfalls and hints about translation techniques as well as practical exercises.

Skills: By the end of the module students will have had sufficient practice to be able to apply their knowledge and thus make reasonable assumptions regarding the content of an unseen passage.
