The module will start with an introductory session on common research techniques used in Biomedical Science.

This will be followed by sessions covering the following topics:

1. Nutrition, muscle function and health (2 sessions)
2. Gut microbiota as a link between diet and health
3. Adipose tissue biology and immunometabolism (2 sessions)
4. Nutrition and immunity across the life course
5. Omega-3 for optimal health across the life course (2 sessions)

The sessions will combine a seminar and general discussion in order to clarify any points and to frame any questions arising from the lecture that the students find interesting.

Prior to each topic, a relevant primary research publication and supporting documentation that exemplifies research in the subject area will be provided. Students should read the paper prior to attending the session and pay particular attention to the methods section to ensure they are familiar with the basic principles of the techniques and/or any confusing abbreviations used. Methodological queries will be discussed at the session.

For topics 1, 3 and 5, one or more students, depending on class numbers, will be designated to prepare an oral presentation on the selected paper for the following week. The presentation will comprise the paper and background questions arising from the article or the seminar. All students will be expected to join in the discussion of the paper during and after each presentation, although only those students who are presenting will be assessed. Presenting students will be expected to research other articles to introduce concepts in the paper. All students will be expected to research other articles to bring to the general discussion of the selected paper.

For topics 2 and 4, all students will write a critical appraisal of a selected paper stating the hypothesis and summarising the background, methods used, results and conclusions with comment on strengths, weaknesses and any new questions arising as a consequence of the paper. There will be no oral presentation for these topics.

This module provides you with opportunities for the handling and presentation of cultural products, and an understanding of their capacity for value, significance and relationships with other objects and in a range of contexts.
It develops your critical approach to issues of display and representation. You will examine ways in which we read and understand objects and artistic outputs, in the context of archives, collections and contemporary displays.
It will develop your ability to apply sound theoretical study around Material Culture, curation and object handling to the delivery of practical projects and presentation.

This module builds upon the knowledge and skills base within the Additional care needs; Antenatal and Intrapartum to be able to engage clinically with obstetric and neonatal emergencies. This module also has a link with the Enhanced Postnatal and Neonatal care module whereby you are encouraged to consider the impact of such an emergency on the health and wellbeing of both the mother and neonate. By the end of this module you will have the knowledge and skills to be an active team member during obstetric emergencies within the clinical setting.

This module will provide the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills you need to provide clinical care during obstetric and neonatal emergencies during the antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum period. This module will build upon your existing knowledge related to universal and additional care needs during the childbirth continuum. Teaching and learning in this module will complement the Enhanced Postnatal and Neonatal Care module, where you will be encouraged to consider the impact of obstetric and neonatal emergencies on the health and wellbeing of both the mother and neonate. By the end of this module, you will be able to risk assess and anticipate obstetric and neonatal emergencies and have the knowledge and skills to be an active team member to manage emergencies within the clinical setting.
