Topics such as patient and public involvement, collaborative working, evidence-based practice, complex interventions, health economics, clinical trials, and medical statistics will provide a common thread that runs throughout the programme.Teaching for the programme takes place over two full days (Tuesday and Wednesday) for the full-time route. Teaching will take place between 9am and 5pm, however, specific times may vary from module to module. Each module runs over 1 academic term, with 11 contact days per module timetabled with teaching staff.
