Aims
This module aims to advance clinical knowledge of therapeutics and to provide students with the skills to apply this expertise to the appropriate management of a range of commonly encountered disease states and therapeutic problems seen in secondary care.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:• Quality /hierarchy of evidence in clinical practice
• Disease management in patients with multiple co-morbidities
• Clinical therapeutics for a range of commonly encountered conditions which may include:
o Endocrine disorders – e.g. diabetes, disorders of adrenal and thyroid gland
o Cardiovascular diseases –e.g. Ischaemic heart disease (including acute coronary syndrome), arrhythmias, heart failure, thromboembolism, stroke
o Acute and chronic kidney disease
o Rheumatoid arthritis and gout
o Medicines licensing issues in children
o Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease

o Upper gastrointestinal disorders
o Inflammatory bowel disease
o Management of chronic liver disease
o Management and prevention of common post-operative problems – e.g. VTE, infection pain, nausea, vomiting and constipation
o Medicines optimisation in critical care – sedation, infection, altered drug handling, stress ulcer prophylaxis, intravenous fluids
For each therapeutic area covered there will be consideration of acute and chronic management; high risk drugs; clinical pharmacokinetics
