The module will provide students with a systematic knowledge and practical application of digital technology to support health-real life information provision. Students will learn about the evolving eHealth landscape. There will be a focus on key technologies that will drive digital transformation such as mHealth, teleconsultation, interoperability and AI (artificial intelligence). Students will get an in-depth understanding of current and emerging approaches, concepts and issues in digital health, including online networks to provide informational and psychological support to empower patients, big data, the future of privacy, the ethics of data collection in everyday life, as well as the impact of mobile and digital technology on health and wellbeing. This module will be delivered in blended learning format through online learning with face-to-face days. The face to face days will be studio based and interactive as the students will get the opportunity to engage with developing an eHealth solution/product.

Sexuality and the Law examines numerous ways in which the law regulates and responds to issues connected with an individual’s sexuality, including sexual orientation and gender identity. Our aim is to give students a thorough grounding in the theory and practical application of the law in relation to sexuality, drawing on a number of disciplines and areas of law to illustrate the ways in which the law regulates and interacts with individuals and groups based on sexuality.

As the module will be research-led by the teaching team, the exact topics that we cover from year to year will vary depending on the availability of those people teaching on the module. By way of example, relevant current topics of interest of Laws’ colleagues include Private Law and LGBTQ+ Rights, Planning Law and Sexuality, Queer Professionalism, Equal Marriage and Equal Rights, Sexual Citizenship, and Religious Freedom and LGBT+ Rights.

By the end of this module, students will have a clear understanding of the theoretical tools that can be used to analyse legal problems from the perspective of sexuality, knowledge of various ways that the law can and does regulate and interact with individuals and groups based on their sexuality, an understanding of how the law in relation to sexuality fits into broader legal problems and perspectives, such as discrimination law, and an ability to consider areas for legal reform to respond to challenges arising from the perspective of sexuality.

Recommended texts: There is no single textbook for this module. We will use a range of texts drawn from across a range of different legal disciplines. The module convenors are happy to advise on advanced reading.
