The BM4 course in years 1 and 2 is a highly contextualised and integrated course in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through clinical topic weeks in the first 18 months of the course and then this learning is put into practice in the remaining 6 months of the second year during clinical placements. This module focuses on the application of this learning in clinical context during placements in medicine, surgery and primary care and the assessment relates predominantly to this. This is not a stand-alone module and should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole course which is achieved by this module alongside the other modules – Clinical Medicine 1 & 2, Integration of Knowledge and Clinical Medicine 1 & 2 and Foundations of Medicine 1 & 2. The emphasis of the assessments for each of these modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module, however the integrated nature of the course means that there will undoubtedly be overlap and aspects of the assessment in each module will draw upon learning from all course modules. Since this module allows students to practise their clinical skills, it will also particularly overlap with the learning and OSCE assessment of Clinical Medicine 2.

Whether in the form of monuments, stories or rituals a desire to remember seems to be everywhere in most if not all contemporary nation states. In some respect this has been fuelled by the continually evolving international situation, which has posed a series of challenges to the construction and articulation of national borders and identities. In light of these developments, this module explores different facets of the relationship between memory and the nation from a variety of historical, political, social and cultural perspectives. It highlights the ways in which memory has been deployed by nations to buttress their legitimacy and to create unifying national narratives. However, it also interrogates the way these claims have been challenged and undermined by remembrance practices and mobilisations generated at the grassroots by memory activists and entrepreneurs. Additionally, the module will introduce you to the concept of transnationalism by considering cases where memories cross or transcend national boundaries and communities and the particular issues this raises for nation-states. Combining critical theoretical texts with a range of case studies, the module offers the opportunity to engage with complex questions surrounding the creation, articulation and contestation of national identities and notions of belonging.

This integrated module focuses on the application and practice of the knowledge and skills relevant to mental health in clinical practice. It builds on knowledge and skills from years 1 and 2 and focuses on their application to clinical practice in the context of students' Primary Care, Surgery and Medicine placements. In particular, it aims to help students reflect on the importance of the relationship between mental health and health experiences.

Additionally, it will raise awareness of the potential impact of clinical practice on the mental health of students and health care professionals and encourage reflection on how mental health can impact how people practise. The module aims to equip students with the conceptual frameworks and practical skills necessary to be able to manage mental health during clinical practice.

The focus is on “Mental Health”, the ability to function psychologically, as opposed to “Psychiatry” ( the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric conditions explored in the year 4 Psychiatry module).

The module will provide a critical assessment of evidence relevant to mental health and ageing, with a concentration on dementia, one of the most common and serious disorders in later life. The module will take an international perspective, providing an understanding of prevalence, treatment and policy on mental illness in later life in both the developed and developing world. Students will gain an understanding of the key challenges and debates in diagnosis, treatment and policy on mental illness in later life; be able to distinguish between 'normal' and 'abnormal' ageing from a psychological and cognitive perspective; and apply theoretical approaches, e.g. from Gerontology and Psychology, to issues affecting older people with mental illnesses.
