This module provides the students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes which are necessary to practice in Surgery as a newly qualified doctor. This module builds on earlier Surgical attachments and the Acute Care and Ethics & Law modules. This module focuses on the knowledge and understanding, practitioner and professional skills required of a newly qualified doctor in Surgery, and the assessments within this module will focus on these areas. The BM programmes are however highly contextualised and integrated programmes in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through a range of modules none of which are stand alone modules and therefore this module should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole year and programme. The module will take the format of a 7 week placement in one or more partner trusts. The timing will vary for different student groups and the teaching staff will vary for different practices and student groups. As is the nature of clinical placements, the exact learning experiences of each student will be variable however all students will receive the same broad opportunities sufficient to achieve the learning outcomes of the module and it is expected that students will take responsibility for making the most of the opportunities provided and being pro-active in securing experiences in areas in which they feel they are weak and/or they have had least learning experiences. Further details will be provided on Blackboard.

Sustainable development is a topic in which investors and other stakeholders are increasingly interested because of its potential effect on companies’ business models, cash flows, financial position and financial performance. United Nations (UN) issued seventeen Sustainable Develop Goals (SDGs) in 2016. In June 2023, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. The source of Sustainability Accounting and Reporting stems from this idea. This module will expose students to sustainability accounting and reporting especially how to prepare a sustainability report including reporting information of greenhouse gas emissions, water usage; waste, material usage, emissions to air, land and water and biodiversity. Students will also acquire the skills to be able to analyse the sustainability performance of an organisation and recommend how the organisation can improve its sustainability performance.
Traditional accounting is mainly limited to the providing information for decision making by a range of major financial stakeholders, such as managers, investors and creditors. Given the increasing importance of sustainability issues such as climate change, students who study accounting at postgraduate level now need to understand these important issues as they will inevitably be discussed in organisations that they will work for. This module will expose students to sustainability accounting and reporting especially how to prepare a sustainability report, how to calculate greenhouse gas emissions given information on energy and water usage; waste, material usage, emissions to air, land and water and biodiversity. Students will also acquire the skills to be able to analyse the sustainability performance of an organisation and recommend how the organisation can improve its sustainability performance.
GGES6019 is a multidisciplinary unit designed for students with an interest in sustainable development, sustainability, green growth, complex socio-ecological systems, and resilient development. Over the term we will explore the key issues and debates around sustainability, and undertake practical work to develop students’ skills in interpreting and evaluating the multiple sustainability values and perspectives. This module will provide students with a firm grounding in the relationship between sustainability and the core concepts of justice, ethics and wellbeing, integrated modelling processes, conservation and ecology, economic growth and development, politics and governance, technology, tools/frameworks, and resilience. The module will consider both past examples of sustainable development as well as current and emerging challenges relating to sustainability. Seminars will run in parallel with lectures with typically a double slot seminar following on from a lecture. In the seminars we will review and apply theories and concepts in real world contexts, working in small groups. This will be delivered through case studies and practical and discursive work. Toward the end of the course, which is completed prior to the Christmas break, there will be lectures and seminars provided by sustainability practitioners in order to provide some practical insights to the skills required for consultancy and research proposal development.
