Additional Information:
This is a module which harnesses the students' experience of patient assessment of the non-life-threatening patient. This will better enable them to form a working diagnosis which informs the clinical decision-making process. The module is intended to bridge the gap between level five studies and future expectations which may be placed upon the students were they to take on level seven studies in the future.
