Health Policy and Economics
The growing expertise in health economics at the Department of Economics offers a unique opportunity for the introduction of a health policy and economics module. The importance of health for
any human being, the size of the health sector, the limited resources available to meet the needs of an aging population (with higher levels of chronic disease) make health economics an important aspect of everyday life. At the same time, the relevance of health economics to a large number of sectors (e.g. health services, public health, medicine, pharmaceutical and health technology industry) makes this module of direct interest to postgraduate programme in Global Health, Public Health and
other health related studies. This module is offered as a compulsory module in the MSc Global Health programme. -

Health, Culture, and Discrimination
Deadly illnesses have frequently been invested with a great deal of symbolic and cultural significance. This interdisciplinary module will introduce you to how various diseases and conditions (AIDS, cancers, obesity, Covid-19, and mental health issues and illnesses) became metaphors for rejection and marginalisation. It analyses the ways in which cultural, medical, political and societal discourses can entwine and impact on the self-representations of the patients. As well as exploring disease-related discrimination and its impact on the self, you will examine anti-discrimination strategies. You will then have the opportunity to put all of this into practice through the development of a socially and politically responsive public engagement project.
This highly innovative module is paired with MEDI1032 : Student Selected Unit 2, option Medicine and Culture. Students in this module will thus work for eight weeks with Medical students in order to create public engagement activities through a variety of forms that might typically include posters, exhibitions, educational material for schools, websites, or videos. -

Healthy Discussions for Physiotherapy
The success of physiotherapy treatment is often influenced by the degree to which patients engage with it and adhere to recommended behavioural changes. This usually requires a high degree of effort and motivation on the part of the patient and poor adherence is common. A key task for physiotherapists therefore, is enhancing motivation for behaviour change.
Traditional approaches to promoting change involve the provision of ‘expert advice’. Whilst this can work some of the time, particularly for acute problems, not all patients are ready, willing or confident in their ability to change and may not be receptive to it (Rollnick, Miller & Butler 2023). Conversations can therefore easily descend into dysfunctional dialogue which can be frustrating for both physiotherapist and patient.
Healthy discussions will teach students how to have constructive, meaningful conversations about change, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. The module draws heavily on motivational interviewing (MI) as a method for guiding these challenging conversations. Students will also learn how the skills and ‘way of being’ that is central to MI may be used to complete the other aspects of their clinical practice. -
